In keeping on top of the latest virii hitting the net, McAfee yesterday issued a warning about the newly discovered Naked Wife virus. Carrying a payload which attempts to delete all .bmp, .com, .dll, .exe, .ini, and .log files, this virus poses as a flash movie with the window reading "JibJab Loading". McAfee has labeled the virus high risk, so be on the lookout for any message carrying the NakedWife.exe attachment.

|Well, being a PC technician, retailer, and business owner, I have a good deal of experience with John Q. Public couputer user, and I can tell you that it is simply the "it can't happen to me" syndrome. Kind of like people who don't wear their seatbelts. They just think that since they have never been burned by a virus, that the risk is low, or they have some 3 year old antivirus program that they falsly assume will protect them against everything out there. I have customers that send .EXE attachments back and forth with their friends all the time. They love those little "joke" files, and think that it's all harmless fun. Until....they get hit with a bug. That usually shocks them into reality. With some folks it takes more than once, or at least a really nasty bug before they quit opening those things. I used to be a nice guy and would walk some of them through removing the easier bugs over the phone, but it seems that some folks don't take it seriously until it costs them a bit of cash to get it taken care of. As much as I hate to admit it, the Navidad worm made me a bit richer last year in having to remove it from so many systems. I try to make my customers as informed as possible about the dangers in opening certain kinds of attachments, even if it seems to be from someone they know, but a few never seem to get it, no matter what.
