FBI Continues Hunt for Virus’ Cause

From Times Wire Reports

Computer experts and the FBI pursued yet another e-mail virus, this one using the guise of a woman’s work resume to threaten computers. Unlike an earlier bug that claimed to be looking for love, the new threat was discovered Friday looking for a job. The virus--called “Killer Resume”--is spread through e-mail systems using the Microsoft Outlook program, FBI officials said. They refused to elaborate on the investigation. FBI spokesman Rex Tomb said the holiday weekend could give corporations and computer users time to update their anti-virus programs.
