Network Associates, the manufacturer of McAfee Inc anti-virus products, reports a new and sinister virus in the wake of the I Love You bug. This Trojan horse infects computers when the user downloads an image of an allegedly lost child in response to the pathetic requests of her "parents."
The computer is devastated as a result and will only display images of milk cartons. The virus has been named the "milk carton bug."
