Harry Potter and the pesky VIRUS !  by Shane L at 14:32

Yes and yet another virus is on the prowl, the Netsky.P worm has been about for a while now, but due to the release of the new Harry Potter film this worm seems to be spreading rather rapidly.

According to anti-virus firm Sophos, Netsky.P was the second most common virus in May, topped only by the infamous Sasser worm.
It now seems to be picking up steam again, with Sophos saying it had spotted thousands of copies of it in the last few days.


NETSKY.P FILENAMES
