Warning: New computer worm

There is a story that I have been following for the last couple of days and as it may be of interest to some of you am posting today's story. It starts out as;

It's being called the worst computer worm of the year — a fast-spreading Internet threat that looks like an official email from the CIA or FBI but can leave your computer wide open to intruders.

One year the worst worm was the one I found in the bottom of a tequilla bottle.

I actually got one of those emails in my work email earlier this week. It was filtered into my junk box. Since I know exactly what sites I go to I deleted it. Had a suspision that it was bs.
