"The upcoming .Net architecture from Microsoft [NASDAQ:MSFT] may be
a year away from shipping, but that hasn't stopped an anonymous virus
author from circulating the first virus for the platform."

"Although low risk, Symantec says that the existence of the virus
shows that virus writers are paying close attention to the new Microsoft
software and are attempting to understand the framework that eventually
will be available on most systems."

Cheers (I guess :-),
