Three nasty new worms are on the loose--all are designed to lower the victim's guard, then pounce.

MSN Messenger hit by double-whammy worm The new Bropia offshoot, which uses MSN Messenger to spread, is packaged with a second, more damaging worm. February 3, 2005

Saddam Hussein 'death' photos used as worm bait Mass-mailing worm claims to offer photos that show Saddam Hussein killed after trying to escape from custody. February 3, 2005

The worm affects MSN Messenger on computers running Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000 and XP...

Bobax.H, which affects PCs running Microsoft Windows...

This worm, dubbed Wurmark-F, travels as an e-mail attachment and affects systems running Microsoft Windows...

I think that I see a pattern here.

I think we are BOTH right. Which, which means we have discovered a new species! A bacterial worm!! So, do we want to call it "drango-drypowder" or "drypowder-drango"?
