The Karma Sutra Virus
This may be SIAL but have just received this...
'Apparently the Karma Sutra worm is due to be triggered at midnight tonight, causing hundreds of thousands of computers to crash.
It is being circulated by a pornographic email and spreads by emailing itself to addresses in an infected computer's mailbox.
Some variations refer to the the Karma Sutra's elaborate sexual positions in order to attract attention and convince victims to click and open it.
The virus, known as Grew.A or MyWife, tricks users by appearing as an email attachment with subject lines such as 'Hot Movie', 'give me a kiss', and 'Miss Lebanon 2006'.
It disables your antivirus programs when the computer is restarted. To date, it has mainly affected computers of consumers and small businesses in the U.S; however, we have been warned as if you receive and open one of these emails, it will really damage your machine.'
Knowing how some of you lot are **** mad, I thought you might like the advanced warning - or not

McAfee users that have updated since February 2005 - yes that's a whole year ago - do not need to worry about this threat. http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_138027.htm
