Some video game players got a nasty surprise this week when they downloaded software from a popular online gaming site--the Nimda computer virus.
The installer for GameSpy Arcade 1.09, the main file exchange and gaming software of GameSpy.com, was infected with the Nimda virus twice this week, GameSpy Chief Executive Mark Surfas told Reuters.
Surfas said the virus infected one of their download servers for two hours on Tuesday and five hours Wednesday night, while they were performing routine service.
Surfas said a total of 3,100 infected files were served, and the company is in the process of notifying everyone who got an infected file and pointing them to free antivirus tools that will disinfect their systems.
