"It's the worst virus we've ever seen," and other such nonsense
Over the past few days, news outlets have been emulating those bogus virus warnings we regularly receive from well-meaning friends. Here's the short answer: Khobe isn't a problem. You know the kind of message, well-meaning (but technically illiterate) friends pass on warnings that including things like (and I paraphrase, with no reflection on any companies named in the emails):
" says it is the worst virus they've ever seen and currently no anti-virus software can detect it. Please don't open the file called I-am-Not-a-Virus.exe." Or some such malarkey!
Never mind that the company named in most such emails isn't in the anti-virus business to start with. In almost all such cases the email itself is the virus – after-all it used up a significant amount of your own resources to deal with it.
