Australia: Computer worms 'yet to take hold'
A COMPUTER virus targeting users of Microsoft's Windows 2000 operating system has not spread widely in Australia, a Melbourne IT expert said today.
RMIT University's information security programs leader, Dr Asha Rao, said the worm seemed to be taking many forms, including at least one which attacked executable files.
But Dr Rao said she did not believe the worm had spread widely in Australia.
"At this time, by most reports, the rate of infection is low. Whether this worm has affected many computers in Australia is not yet known, but it has not come up in discussions with my students," she said.
