    Computer Bug Deletes Files
    Updated: 10:07, Friday February 03, 2006

    A timebomb computer virus is set to detonate any time now, users have been warned.

    The bug, know as BlackWorm, Kama Sutra, Mywife or CME-24, has spread through email attachments promising pornography.

    If an attachment - sometimes named "Hot Movie" or "Miss Lebanon 2006" - is opened, the computer becomes infected.

    Then, on the third day of every month, it will try to delete file on Windows computers, including Adobe PDFs, Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents.

    It even tries to disable anti-virus software that is out of date.

    BlackWorm is not thought to be as widespread as other viruses.

    But worms are generally designed to help spammers and hackers carry out attacks, not to destroy files like this one does.

    This means the impact of a the bug may be more severe.

    Computer giant Microsoft has warned customers to make sure they have the latest anti-virus software and that it is turned on.





    Please guys most Men, who get on the internet love porn please watch your selves.

    You really do not need to panic as much as you are doing. The virus in question uses the oldest trick in the internet book. It comes in the form of an attachment or file transfer, this current incarnaiton known as something like KamaSutra, or seX. You need to actually let it in by opening nad using them, it is not a supervirus.

    Only stupid people open it, and stupid people deserve to be infected.
