From CNET: A new computer worm dubbed NetSky.d was clogging e-mail systems around the world after emerging Monday, a security expert said.

The worm is particularly difficult to root out because it lands in e-mail boxes using a number of different subject lines, such as "re:details" or "re:here is the document."

"It arrives with an attached PIF file (program information file), and it's already extremely widespread," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos.
