Well,

Seems like it's real, but not a worm - only a malicius piece of code, that the user needs to unzip manually, type in Admin PW and then it might do some business.

So, as always, this is not really a thread..

Ohh, and it was reported in details by Ambrosia Software first, so I trust it...

Say no more. After the last scares by that company just to drum up business
I wouldn't believe a word they say.


But maybe it's more insidious than I think. Maybe it's part of the George
Bush scare tactics to keep us in an unending and unwinnable war, force us to
relinquish our civil rights and distrust our Macs.


So you won't mind it if I say "pshaw"!
