New 'Sober' virus
At least three new variants of the Sober worm emerged recently across the Internet. The viruses are activated once a user clicks on an infected attachment.
The new variants of Sober, are capable of disabling antivirus programs, according to Finland-based company F-Secure.
The attachments can be recognized by their names: Exceltab-packed_List.exe, Liste.zip and Reg-List-Dat_Packer2.exe., reg_text.zip Word-Text.zip, Word-Text_packedList.exe and Word-Text_packedList.zip.
The virus creators appeared to taunt security experts with a message left in the code which reads: "Use your debuggers, it's fun."
