Wow - sensationalism at it greatest.
Issues with the article include:
1- this is not "malicious" - it does not actually do anything
2- this is not a "worm" - it does not self-propagate
3- this is not a "virus" - it does not self-propagate
The program attempts to self-propagate by Bonjour Messaging, not over
AIM.
Reuters should check their facts before posting such garbage.
