Jumping Flea worm lifted to high risk alert
ANTI VIRUS firm F-Secure said it has raised the level of danger to two on the Flea computer worm, which sits in HTML-mail and auto activates when a message is opened using Microsoft Outlook.
The Flea then connects to a web site, and delivers its bite by executing Javascript code without users being aware of what it's doing.
Level two is the second highest alert level in F- Secure's classification.
The firm said it has received many reports of this worm affecting computers in Asia and Europe.
