Generally, the word 'computer virus' sends shivers down the spine of any computer user. These small, but deadly programs, obviously designed with the most malicious intentions, have done a lot of damage over the past few years. However, it seems that every now and then, viruses become…vigilantes.
The story reported by the Reuters agency seems taken out of a bad comedy. A German child porn offender has turned himself in to the Police, after receiving an e-mail, that that listed the sender as Germany's Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), allegedly warning him that he is under investigation for visiting some illegal websites. However, no official authority had sent that e-mail. The author was none other than our “friendly” neighborhood friend, the Sober worm.
