(CNN) -- Unlike some predecessors, a virulent new computer virus doesn't use sexual intrigue to entice people to open infected e-mail. Instead, this worm, once unleashed, attempts to open numerous X-rated Web pages."


Spreads through Microsoft Outlook and Internet Explorer.

Nope! Just get a TON of disgusting porn site invitation spam on my hotmail account. ADNC filters it out. It seemed to happen after I signed on with Yahoo Auctions (which I never use). Thanks for the warning Borillar!

Finally an excuse for those caught on the porn sites of the web:

"Sorry hun, it wasn't me - I caught a virus!"

Tee hee hee

Some acquaintances had been forwarding some pretty funny jokes and cartoons, all of a sudden I started getting really nasty jokes..I deleted the first few and then asked them not to send X rated humor as it really isn't my thing.

All of a sudden we started getting "invitations" to some pretty smutty places on the net" My husband and I looked at each other each wondering if he/she needed some excitement...turns out NO. But, because the jokes and cartoons came directly from X rated sites we were on the list. Ugly stuff..since we got a virus haven't gotten any of that junk. See, getting sick has its advantages.
