Beware of world cup worm

Nude worm tempts World Cup fans

The World Cup's popularity makes it attractive to hackers
Football fans are being warned about a malicious worm that uses world Cup themed e-mails to infect Windows PCs.
The Sixem-A worm is spread in messages with subject lines such as "Naked World Cup game set" and "Crazy soccer fans".

Once installed, the worm attempts to disable security software, leaving the computer open to further attack.
