Google sends out a virus
50000 Google video subscribers received Kama Sutra virus to their inboxes last week, compliments of Google, reports ZDNet:
"W32/Kapser.A is better known as the Kama Sutra worm. Some antivirus companies raised an alarm about the threat in February, but it ultimately shriveled. Kama Sutra was designed to overwrite files on infected computers on a specific date. However, the worm, which spread under the guise of pornographic content, caused virtually no damage."

So, if you are one of those subscribers, run an anti-virus check on your computer, but chances are that the infected e-mail was already stopped by your anti-virus software.

If you do not have an anti-virus installed, shame on you. But, due to this mishap, Google made Norton anti-virus part of its Google pack, so feel free to download it.
