Meaning no disrespect Imhotep, but the subject is misleading
through misuse of the English.
This is something the affects Windows systems, yes, but it is
not an MS worm, whether the term intends to indicate ownership
or culpability.
In either intended case it would be more appropriately termed
"yet another dumb user" worm
