SoBig Virus We have seen an increase in the number of reports of the Sobig virus worm. We have seen a large number of German political propaganda spam e-mails that are originating from Sober worm infected computers. These messages are not infected but are coming from infected computers. This particular family of virus's has been around for a while but the Sober.O's primary characteristic is a zip file attachment. For more information about this virus see this PC World article. See Symantec's Sobig page for a removal tool and more information about the worm. For more information about security, viruses, scams, and hoaxes see the Centex Technical Support site.
