How To Stop The Sober Worm

Whoever wrote the Sober.P worm is persistent. The worm, which raced around the Internet this week, is the 18th version of a worm that first made it appearance two years ago. This one first surfaced in Western Europe on Monday and began to infect computers, but it fizzled out when it crossed the ocean and hit the United States. Today, security analysts and vendors are helping companies to clean up the mess Sober.P left behind and are reminding businesses how to prevent such worms from causing damage.
