Nice

Since everybody loves football in Europe, it will spread faster than Anna Kournikova. But 4%? That damn a lot.

Which brings up the obvious question of who in the US would get this virus?

(Aside from the Europeans who just happen to be here of course...)

[Edit]
I guess I should have been more specific:

Who in the US would see "a zip file by promising them they have won tickets to the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2006 in Germany" and think that it's real? (Since almost no one in the US follows World Cup.)

Of course there are those people that will open anything, but of the remaining people... Come on!

Re: Nice

Well, it's clear that many users in the US still fall for emails that read "Your password" or "Your mail was rejected" and click on the attachment. Especially when there's also a message in some of them that read "No virus was found".

@qwest.net		 only the computer illiterate could even possibly get this virus which is pretty much 75% of the US.

West Boylston, MA		 No viruses around here. The only activity I have seen is from my firewall stating the there was a sober variant attacking or something but no attachments on any work or home e-mail of friends, family or coworkers.
