Kama Sutra Worm Set for Attack on Feb. 3
NewsFactor - Wed Feb 1, 6:54 PM ET

Security analysts are warning computer users about a new and potentially destructive Internet worm that can obliterate important documents. The worm, called Kama Sutra, is making the rounds now, but is scheduled to execute its first massive attack on February 3. The malicious worm targets computers running Windows and spreads primarily by copying itself to shared network locations and then sending itself to e-mail addresses found on afflicted computers. With subject lines that read "the best videoclip ever," "give me a kiss," and "school girl fantasies gone bad," the worm entices computer users to open the attached file.

back on topic: it is best to not open emails from untrusted or unknown sources. most of my emails are business related and since i have few personal emails, i never open one from someone i did not initiate communication with...

 

[Haus]

yeah i dont open emails from anyone i dont know either. i usally dont get emails from anyone other than things for this site or other forums i belong too. i dont get to much junk email either.

 

[lemon]

i dont know why everybody is worried. i mean, some people are naturally commonsenseless ... they will just open anything they get in email. these are the ones who screw us up. now, if they would learn, maybe we wouldnt have to worry. but that will never happen. :tard

There is no such thing as "common sense". What one person sees as Common sense or common knowledge another person may actually honestly know nothing about for whatever reason, being from another country, living in the jungle. Saying someone has no common sense is just a nice way of calling someone stupid or a fucking idiot, which in order to ACCURATELY call someone a idiot or stupid, they must do something they know better than to do and know what the consequences would be.

common sense is knowing the basic 'obvious' things people are 'expected' to know. obvioulsy that is dependent on context. for example, a chemist would be expected not to mix certain chemicals together that are known to explode, but a random guy off the street would not - (though one may argue that if you arent a chemist, commoon sense would tel you that you shuoldnt be playing with chemicals, but you see the point)


oh and if someone is stupid enough to open emails with subjects like that, especially from people they dont know, im speechless. if its from a friend, subjects like that i would still be wary around. and here i would label that as common sense, since over the past few years, everyone who doesnt live in cave has heard enough on the news about neing careful with opening emails and stuff, so people should know to be careful about this kind of thing

Obvious is nothing more than the person identifying something they already know to be true, but others may not see it as obvious because they are not privacious to the information that the person that thinks it is obvious has. Like I may not know how to change my oil because I never did it, but a person that does it for a living may feel it to be obvious that I need to remove the drain plug to do it...
