I usually don't report things like this but I figured it was worthwhile.
" This worm, named W32/Nimda.A-mm, is dangerously different than virtually all other e-mail and network-borne viruses: It can infect a computer when a user simply clicks on the subject line of an e-mail in an attempt to open it, or visits a Web page housed on an infected server."
This worm is actually pretty dangerous since it combines "features" of other network virri in its attempt to cause discomfort to the casual Internet user. Watch out the W32/Nimda.A-mm worm is on the loose.
