Do you feel used?

Well maybe you are. Worm lures users into online booby trap

A computer worm that turns desktop PCs into malicious web servers has begun infecting computers around the world, experts warn.

The Bofra worm, which comes in two variations known as Bofra-A and Bofra-B, spreads by exploiting a software bug discovered in Microsoft's Internet Explorer web browser on 2 November.

This bug affects the way Explorer interprets web page tags � the underlying code that defines parts of a web page - and can be used to run unauthorised code on machines using the Windows operating system.

Microsoft has not yet released a software fix for the problem, although computers running its latest software package - Service Pack 2, which includes various security enhancements - should be immune. Computers with firewalls installed and switched on may also prevent the worms from spreading by blocking their communications.
