This latest computer worm, MyDoom (aka Novarg or Shimgapi or MiMail.R) infects Microsoft Windows-based computers for the purpose of launching a DDoS against SCO.

Microsoft is the bane of Linux. SCO has drawn the ire of Linux fanatics. Use your enemy against your other enemy.

Also, that this virus is huge shows that people will click on any attachment. All that hype about Microsoft’s email programs being insecure is misleading. This virus sends an attachment the user must 1) open and 2) execute. Microsoft is fine. It is the computer users that make computers insecure!
