Worm Targets
AOL IM Users

America Online Instant Messenger (AOL IM) is one of the most popular instant messaging programs in use today. This popularity has made the service a key target for virus and worm developers. A new worm has been found that appears to come from a contact the person knows. Once the person downloads what appears to be an attached image, a file is installed on the computer that infects it and the machine can then be controlled remotely to spread the worm and other viruses to other unsuspecting AOL IM users. For more information on this latest finding, see ElectricNews.Net
