Warning of new viruses exploiting the London bombings
Since last Thursday there have been a number of new viruses circulating in e-mails and Internet links claiming to contain information, pictures and videos of the London bombings.
Using major events and the interest they generate is something virus writers have learned to exploit more and more. A current example is an e-mail circulating with the title "TERROR HITS LONDON". The file attached to this e-mail contains a virus which is activated when the file is opened.
