Of bugs and Bagels

Shields up! The latest variant(s) of the malicious Bagel virus/worm is hitting inboxes all over the Windows world. And thanks to the dodos who still can't grasp that unexpected attachments are not for opening, its tremors will still be reverberating into next week as the code propagates via stupidity.

For the record, Bagel comes with an executable attachment named price.exe or joke.exe. Windows users should update their virus software. Everyone else should relax, as usual.
