The computer worm known as LovSan, which spread itself by the Internet on Monday and Tuesday, shows how quickly tens of thousands of computers can be paralyzed.

LovSan painfully demonstrates how much works remains in bolstering the security of computer networks. Viewed broadly, the attack also highlights how easily the internet's great effciencies can be undermined.

Worms speeds slows to a crawl but you never know attack's next wave of fleet might be on its way.....
So far LovSan's speed slowed down 55% Friday vs Monday, because of the defect in it which actually impairs its role to ability to spread more quickly. Even this continues LovSan virus worm has hammered around 400, 000 PCs.

LovSan has also send the tech world world on edge because it includes instructions for all the infected PCs to flood www.windowsupdate.com with nonsense requests.
Microsoft created to automatically dispense patches. Surprisely the request were programmed to begin Aug 16 and continue to the end of the year.

Hope above works for you all.
