Source: Silicon.com
Anti-virus vendors have issued a warning to users about two viruses which have been reported in the wild.
Sophos has warned users about the W98/Elkern, which is an executable file virus designed to attack Windows 98 and ME. The KW32/Klez worm carries the W98/Elkern virus inside and drops and executes it when the programme is run. The worm can also send itself to all entries in user's address book.
According to Sophos, it arrives in an email with a variety of subject lines, such as "Hi, Hello, How are you?, Can you help me? We want peace, Where will you go? Congratulations!!!, Free XXX Pictures, A free hot porn site or Why don't you reply to me?".
