Worm could back up Internet traffic Internet traffic is the flow of data around the Internet. It includes web traffic, which is the amount of that data that is related to the World Wide Web, along with the traffic from other major uses of the Internet, such as electronic mail and peer-to-peer networks. SAN JOSE - A malicious program attached to a seemingly innocuous e-mail was spreading quickly on the Internet on Monday, threatening to clog network traffic and open up backdoors to infected personal computers. The worm, called ``MyDoom'' or ``Novarg'' by antivirus companies, appears to be an e-mail error message. A small file is attached that, when launched on computers running Microsoft Corp.'s Windows operating systems, can send out 100 infected e-mail messages in 30 seconds. Microsoft offers a patch of its Outlook e-mail software to warn users before they open such attachments. Antivirus software also can prevent infection. |
