What is Worm Gobbler 1.1?

The Autostart worm has been indentified on nearly every continent. Aimed squarely at the macintosh based graphic arts industry, it is already running amok.

A worm is somewhat like a virus - created with the intention of spreading rapidly, sometimes stealthily, and doing harm. The programmers that write viruses look to infect as many systems as possible, so they rarely write viruses for the Macintosh platform. This is also why many Macintosh users have become complacent in updating or even using the virus protection software they have.

At Lineaux, we scan every piece of storage media that comes in the door for viruses. In the past, we rarely have ever found anything: maybe three Macintosh viruses in nine years. Within three weeks, however, we detected 9 pieces of client media infected with Autostart viruses. Luckily we were prepared - many service providers and even newspapers will not be. Download Worm Gobbler and check your system!
