Google Goofs With a Virus
This past Tuesday - Google goofed! Google’s video blog team mistakenly emailed the W32.Kasper.A@mm (the Kama Sutra Worm) to about 50,000 members of its e-mail discussion list focused on Google’s Video Blog.
“On Tuesday evening, three posts were made to the Google Video Blog-group that should not have been posted,” Google said in a statement, posted late Tuesday night.
“Some of these posts may have contained a virus called W32/Kapser.A@mm — a mass mailing worm. If you think you have downloaded this virus from the group or an e-mail message, we recommend you run your antivirus program to remove it,” said the statement, which was attributed to the Google Video Team.
It just shows that if your computing, wether at home or work, you have to have an anitvirus software.
