Well whaddya know...
``The worm, dubbed Kelvir.HI, tailors the language of its attack message to the compromised system, said David Jaros, the director of product marketing at security vendor Akonix Systems, on Wednesday. It can send messages in English, Dutch, French, German, Greek (English alphabet), Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, Spanish and Turkish, he noted. ''

A Politically Correct worm! Or, at least, Equal Opportunity. What's next...a choice of movie to watch on the screen while the worm is extracted & executed from an infected e-mail? How about stock options too?

Ehh..I'll just stick to NOT touching e-mails of unknown origin -- it seems to work pretty well for me. And that should make sense in ANY language!
