Security experts are now warning about a new computer worm that spreads strongly on the Internet by using various impersonation techniques.
This new type of worm can be faked to provide users with nude pictures of famous film actor Paris Hilton or threaten to conduct legal actions .

But the bad thing is that sometimes users want to recommend the author of the email. like this, they sent the wrong address, "said Graham Cluley, senior technology advisor with Sophos security firm.
" If someone opens an attachment, they run the risk of helping the Bagle-DO worm continue to spread more aggressively. "
