| Chinese computer users have been warned of a new cyber virus lurking in online greeting cards, Saturday's China Daily reported. Once greeting cards were opened, the virus dubbed Worm.Shoho.110592 would rapidly infect computers' hard drives, snarling e-mail exchanges and causing cyber traffic jams, the paper said. But unlike Nimda and the Red Code who caused havoc earlier this year, experts believed that this new virus could be eliminated quickly. Xia Ji, an engineer of Kingsoft Co Ltd, one of the major computer-virus software companies in China, said during his interview with the paper that people could use his firm's latest updated software, the Duba series, to wipe out the bugs.

Liang Hong, a chief engineer at the National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center, attributed the fast finding of solutions to Chinese computer users' heightened vigilance. Growing public awareness, coupled with technology updates on anti-bug software and solutions, is helping cut the country's economic losses from computer viruses, the paper said. |
