Kama Sutra Worm Catches Windows Users in Compromising Position   1/19/2006 - 2,153 views,

Of course, what it really does is decimate your security and anti-virus protection, grab email addresses from your systems, and wreaks general havoc on both your computer while mass-mailing itself from your computer to everyone you know (or at least everyone whose email address it finds).

The worm’s technical name is W32/Nyxem-D worm, or just the Nyxem-D worm, although it is also known as the Email-Worm.Win32.VB.bi or W32.Blackmal.E@mm worm.

Explained Graham Cluely, a senior consultant with Internet security company, Sophos, “Companies should educate their users to practice safe computing - that includes never opening unsolicited email attachments and discouraging the sending and receiving of joke files, pornography and funny photographs and screensavers.”

Other subject lines have included “give me a kiss”, Miss Lebanon 2006″, “Part 1 of 6 Video clip”, and “The Best Videoclip Ever” (shades of Richard Scarry!), along with the racier “Arab sex DSC-00465.jpg”, “Fw: SeX.mpg”, “Fwd: Crazy illegal Sex!”, and “School girl fantasies gone bad.”

So, tempting though it may be, if you get one of these emails, don’t open it!
