New Windows virus attacks PHP, HTML, and ASP scripts

,----[ Quote
| Researchers have identified a new strain of malware that can spread rapidly 
| from machine to machine using a variety of infection techniques, including 
| the poisoning of webservers, which then go on to contaminate visitors.  
| 
| The malware is a variation of a rapidly mutating virus alternately known as 
| Virut and Virux. It has long proved adept at injecting itself into executable 
| files, which are then able to attack uninfected machines through network 
| drives and USB sticks.
