LONDON (Reuters):
A NEW computer worm dubbed 'Netsky-D' was clogging e-mail systems around the world after emerging on Monday, a security expert said. The worm is particularly difficult to root out because it lands in e-mail boxes using a number of different subject lines such as 're:details' or 're:here is the document'.
"It arrives with an attached pif file (programme information file) and it's already extremely widespread," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos Plc.
