Of Worms and MP3's

Your local Worm-maker is back at work. The infected file (pretending to be a .ASF media file) is downloaded and then tells the user it needs a codec so it can play. If the user goes to the website for the codec, it sounds like you're hosed. It allows your PC to route other traffic through it. THEN.... It looks for your MP3s to convert them to copies of the malware. There's a conspiracy theory in there, but I'm not sayin'. At Slashdot.com.
