And it says that's likely to mean a repeat of the outbreak we've seen during this week. The new variety of Lovesan exploits the same vulnerability. Kaspersky says that the number of infected systems is around the 300,000 mark, and the new variety may double this number. "In the worst case, the world community can face a global Internet slow down and regional disruption... to the World Wide Web," said Eugene Kaspersky, head of the labs. The new variety uses the name TEEKIDS.EXE instead of MSBLAST.EXE, different code compression, and different signatures in the body of the worm. ? --------------- David Vincent CNA/MCSE Network Administrator www.mightyOaks.com david.vincent@...htyoaks.com MIGHTY OAKS WIRELESS SOLUTIONS INC. 209-3347 Oak Street Victoria, B.C.
