Peacomm / Storm Virus

[Mathiasa]

This is a virus that infects blogs, forums and stuff like that.

It adds this to posts: "Have you seen this?" + link
Dont click this, as it gives you a blank site and infects your computer.

It also ddos-attack forums and spam.
It also gets to you via email, so dont open suspected emails.

The Storm Worm infected thousands of computers (mostly private) in Europe and the United States on Friday, January 19, 2007 using a topical e-mail message with the subject "230 dead as storm batters Europe".


Watch out people.
