Ooh hey, another day with no viruses and no antivirus tax either.

D'y'know I wonder how many virus writers out there would go
out of business if antivirus vendors weren't always declaring
they'd found new flaws for people to exploit.

FUD.

Mac newbies, if you're worried view the file in finder, choose "get
info" or just use the 3-pane view and look for where it says
"kind". Even with the icon showing a jpeg file this will tell you it's
a unix executable. Should be enough of a clue not to open it.

The biggest security problem of all operating systems is the nut loose behind the wheel.

... it's the loose nut on the keyboard - a fundamental mechanical
problem.

The loose nut behind the wheel explains traffic prblems,

The mere fact that you haven't changed your headline from "new worm" to "new trojan", brilliantly illustrates the writers bias. In turn, that directly reflects upon your reputation.
