New Sober Worm infecting PCs
A new version of the Sober worm is making its way onto Windows PCs, already infecting PC users in Europe. The worm masks itself as a bounced (undelivered) email message, and waits for unsuspecting users to click a file attachment (in .zip, .bat, .com, .scr., or .pif).Mac users need not to worry unless you read your emails from a mail client in Virtual PC. Even then it will only infect the VPC environment, and not the host Mac OS X.
