following the threat ...

An anti-Santy worm seals the vulnerable forums:

F-Secure discovered a new computer worm which applies to correct the

vulnerable discussion groups in the attacks of the variants of Santy.

Mikko Hypponen de F-Secure clarifies however that, contrary to

appearances, the anti-Santy worm is not beneficial. Indeed, the worm

generates a great deal of useless traffic in its method to find the

other vulnerable forums and F-Secure brings reports even in its blog as

sites phpBB already corrected are machine-gunned by queries resulting

from sites "infected" by the anti-Santy.

Having sealed a phpBB vulnerable discussion group, the tiny creature

posts(displays) the following message: " viewtopic.php reassured by the

anti-Santy worm v4. Your site is a little more reassured but make an

update > = 2.0.11".

The anti-Santy worm would use then Google to find the other sites which

he could correct to prevent the attacks of the variants of Santy.

This new worm is not the first one to try to offer a protection against

another worm; we shall notably remember Welchia, the computer worm

which caused in August, 2003 just as much of damages that Blaster whose

remedy it claimed to be.

Is this 'prompt5' a web-based translation service - I can't find it, if it is
