I thought it would be an idea to start this as a locked thread to keep all of our members up to date with those sad people who have nothing else better to do except knacker up our computering pleasure with virus' and other such horrible things. Symantec record each virus and grade it on a scale of 1 to 4. 1 and 2 being general nuisance virus’ while 3 and 4 are the more serious stuff, the latter of which I’ll post about here. W32.Sober.O@mmW32.Sober.O@mm is a mass-mailing worm that sends itself as an email attachment to addresses gathered from the compromised computer. It uses its own SMTP engine to spread. The email may be in either English or German. Discovered on 2nd May 2005 www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sober.o@mm.htmlClick on the link for the details and the removal tool if your computer has been infected by it.

A new nasty is in circulation.
Someone has created a Website titled Googkle. They have filled this site with malicious viruses.
The owner and creator of this site is hoping that internet users will make a typo when entering the web address for the Google search engine and type in Googkle by mistake.
Google remains the best, and in my opinion, the simplest, search engine to use by far and users should not be detered from using it, just be careful when typing.
