The Kama Sutra worm's anticipated bombshell ended up fizzling out, but experts are still divided on whether the brouhaha over the threat was justified.
The Kama Sutra worm, designed to begin deleting files on infected computers this morning, has caused virtually no damage, according to antivirus firms.
The Kama Sutra virus has started wiping crucial files from some infected PCs several days earlier than expected.
With the Kama Sutra worm set to delete files on infected computers on Friday and Sophos reporting a massive increase in Trojan horses in January, 2006 has not started well for security administrators.
Microsoft in an e-mail on Tuesday warned users to update their antivirus protections against the Kama Sutra worm, the mass-mailing virus slated to begin corrupting files later this week.
Could quarantining e-mails be a better way of dealing with viruses than the traditional approach used by most antivirus companies?
