9/May/2001 14:42 New 'Homepage' worm rated X
Spreading faster than the Kournikova? This latest worm will forward an e-mail to all the people in a victim's address book and open one of four pornographic Web pages.
The worm, known to virus experts as VBS.VBSWG2, and dubbed Homepage, has been reported at scores of companies, according to antivirus vendors who say it is likely to hit more firms today.
According to experts, the worm will not cause damage to the computer system that receives the initial e-mail, but could bring down corporate mail servers by sending out thousands of copies of itself.

You don't need to scan graphics or plain text files, but you must scan executable
files that end in EXE or COM, dynamic link library files (DLL), ZIP files
and Microsoft Word and Excel files that come to you from the web. Both www.norton.com and www.mcafee.com will do a good job.
