A new computer virus - dubbed Code Blue - has been discovered by e-security experts in China.

The new worm is reported to be similar to Code Red, the worm that triggered a worldwide scare in July.

Experts analysing it in Beijing would not say how many computers have been affected.

The original Code Red caused host computers to flood US government websites with unwanted data, according to China Daily.
Experts believe it may have originated from a Chinese university.

That threat was eventually quelled by a free software upgrade that patched a flaw in Microsoft server software.
