SOBIG.F follows a computer worm known as "Blaster," or "MSBlaster," 
which infected at least 500,000 computers all over the world only a 
week ago. The “Nachi” worm which is designed to protect pcs 
from “Blaster” caused its own havoc including infiltrating unclassified 
computers on the Navy-Marine intranet and the collapse of the check-in 
system of Air Canada. 

Associated Press has stated that 1 in 17 emails sent around the world 
has been infected.
