A Windows virus has been created that claims to link to amateur video
footage of the aftermath of one of the bombs on the London Underground.
Anyone following the link in the e-mail will have their computer
infected by a program that puts it under the remote control of the virus
creator.  The virus tries to look more legitimate by posing as a
newsletter from US news organisation CNN.
