All you kids out there running Windows, be prepared for the onslaught of the Kama Sutra virus.
This virus has been distributing itself for a while, with a scheduled “attack” date of tomorrow (Friday, Feb 3, 2006).
If the virus gets installed on your computer, it attempts to disable your AV software, so running a specialized scanner is recommended (information below).
This virus scans your local drives (as well as network shares) for, among other things, Word and Excel files, which it then corrupts. I recommend backing up any really important files (financial records, etc) to removeable media (such as CD-R) before tomorrow.
You can download a scanner for this particular piece of malware from https://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/nyxem_e.shtml. Makesure that you also download https://download.f-secure.com/latest/latest.zip and save that zip file into the same location as the scanner.
Good night, and good luck.
