Users of Microsofts popular instant messaging application MSN Messenger, are under attack from a new virus.
Known as Jitux, this worm type virus is distributed via a web based link.
Unsuspecting users who follow the link are automatically downloading jituxramon.exe, the virus file itself.
The virus appears to have no really bad side effects apart from trying to send itself to everyone in your MSN Messenger contacts list every 5 minutes.
As broadband "always on" connections become more popular these days, a virus distributing itself only via email seems almost old hat.
