People have been writing nasty little viri and trojans for years, LONG before Sept 11. Most of these are not very sophiticated and prey on the stupidity and general ignorance of most computer users. Some are a little more nasty (the Nimba Virus for example) and infect computers in many ways. This one that is going around atm is a bit nasty, it will scan you computer for email addresses and send itself out to all the emails on your computer. This includes in your browser cache. It also will be triggered in Outlook by simply PREVIEWING the email with the virus in it.
