BBC: New computer virus hits inboxes. Sobig F has now been seen in 60 countries and currently seems to be most prevalent in the US. Anti-virus firms urged users to update security software to block the latest variant. E-mail users are being warned to be wary of messages bearing subject lines such as: Re: details, Re: approved, Re: Thank You, Re: That movie, Re; Wicked Screensaver or Your Details.
