Kama Sutra virus to hit India hardest. via. Times of India.
The Kama Sutra is giving computer professionals across the world sleepless
nights. But not in the way you think.
A computer virus, scheduled to strike on February 3, Kama Sutra will
corrupt documents with the most common file types, including doc, pdf and zip
files.
And here's the bad news: India will be the most affected.
Speaking to The Times of India , managing director of Centre for Anti Virus
Technology, Pune, Kailash Katkar, said:
"This virus first emerged on January 16. It has already crashed 300,000
computers across the globe. However, its worst effect will be felt on February
3. We feel the virus specially targets computers with the Norton anti-virus
software. That puts India, Peru and Italy, where this software is used in
abundance, in grave risk. The only way people can save their files is by
updating their anti-virus software before February 3."
