PCs and Servers hit by virulent worm
C|Net | at | by Mike
A computer worm that spreads to both servers and PCs running Microsoft software flooded the Internet with data on Tuesday. Known as "Nimda" or "readme.exe," the worm spreads by sending infected e-mails, copying itself to computers on the same network, and compromising Web servers using Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS) software. Analysis of the worm is still in the early stages, experts said.
