Not quite on-topic for this group, but I know some people are interested in

    Virus Could Prove Real Bugbear for Networks

    A new mass-mailing virus, which hit the Internet on Monday,
    could cause quite a bit of damage to vulnerable networks. 
    The virus, known as Bugbear, installs a Trojan on infected
    machines that is capable of logging users' keystrokes, which
    could include passwords and other sensitive information.
