New Virus (Sobig.F)

I've gotten about 50 emails containing this virus already. At 70k for each email this is one hell of a bandwidth eater. Its easy to protect against so for the most part its more annying than harmful.

I have not received any email with the virus so far. I even did not get Blaster, either. I wonder why so many people can get infected so easily. I have been programming to make my living, so I should know a little more about computers than most people, but even then, what exactly do they do? Watching kiddy porn and stuff? Is that why they get infected by every single virus out there?

Stupidity has no bounds when it comes to nontechnical people operating computers. The other day one of my neighbors thought they had the blaster worm. Turns out they had windows 98.
