Don't get too excited...
``And, Sober.P, first detected on Monday, now accounts for 77 percent of all viruses detected by Sophos's threat-monitoring stations worldwide, the British security company said on Tuesday.''

TOP performers: MS 'owns' 95% of the desktops and 'Sober.P' 77% of them. I wonder which virus owns the other 23% of the desktops....

I HATE to burst your bubble... But it aint all Linux... Neither of my computers (all 3 running some flavor of Windows or other) are infected. In fact, I haven't even SEEN a copy of the blighted virus in my inbox. Kinda hard to get infected if no one sends it your way.

NOT that I would get infected... I do practice safe computing. I have a hardware firewall, up to date AV (Panda), and above all, I DO NOT open strange e-mail attachments.
