Sharpei virus hits C# note

Virus writers took another shot at Microsoft's .Net vision.

On Friday, antivirus companies received a copy of a worm called Sharpei, which is partially written in Microsoft's newest computer language, C#, and designed to infect computers loaded with the .Net framework.

Antivirus company Network Associates gave the infectious program a "low" rating for risk but highlighted it as the second example of a virus writer attempting to infect parts of the .Net framework.

"It would work without using (C#)," said Vincent Gullotto, vice president of research for Network Associates' antivirus emergency response team. "It's just another try at .Net."


Just another stupid worm someone created because they had nothing else to do. Watch them e-mails! When in doubt, throw it out!
