Re: Nyxem virus

I believe it's nearer 300,000 than 3M, and the infection rates are mostly highest in India, Peru and Italy.

For those who are interested in following this, there is some great info here: http://www.lurhq.com/blackworm-stats.html

Well, they're one of only 1960 infected PCs in the UK, if that's any consolation

Instead of visiting them, why not use the tool made available by F-Secure to remove this virus... http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/nyxem_e.shtml
