It appears that MSN has been struck by a [a href="http://www.tgdaily.com/2006/06/14/blackangelb_worm/"]vindictive new worm[/a], according to security company Panda Software.

The worm, acting in the vein of movies like the Ring and FearDotCom, delivers a fateful terror message and then proceeds to disable most of your protection software like anti-virus, firewalls and even your Windows control apps (TaskManager, Regedit). It distributes itself to all your MSN contacts by sending a video called 'Fantasma.'  
The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

A vindictive worm? Sounds like Ms Palin.
A fool's paradise is better than none.
