New Worm

Cnn has an article on a new worm which is programmed to start deleting files from infected computers tomorrow. Apparently, it is an email, which tries to entice the user to click something, installing the worm (makes for easy programming, after all). According to the article it deletes many common document formats (ie word/pdf , etc), which would be very bad for those without a backup. As I have mentioned a couple times before: be careful what you click! (virus scanners/firewalls, etc also help some, but not much in this case). Read the whole thing here.
