A new virus has surfaced in the wake of the WTC terrorism. While rather
stupidly written, this is very malicious and could pose quite a threat if
run. Even worse, it downloads a trojan that allows backdoor access to your
machine from the net.
Judging by the wording of the messages the virus displays, it is either
written by someone sympathetic with the terrorists or someone who wants to
fan the flames of war against them.
