There is a new, destructive virus making it's rounds today called "Pictures of my Naked Wife". Here are some details of the damage it causes:
SEVERAL ANTIVIRUS FIRMS have given “NakedWife” a high risk rating because of the damage it can cause and because it appears to be spreading quickly.
Victims will likely find their computer inoperative: the bug deletes all .BMP, .COM, .DLL, .EXE, and .INI files as soon as it infects a computer. It also erases every file in the WINDOWS and WINDOWS/System directories.
I am in the process of confirming this at www.sarc.com but it's slow as many people are hitting that site...
