Romeo & Juliet Virus
23rd November 2000 (Computimes)

GFI, the content checking software company, has uncovered another problematic virus called Romeo&Juliet. The bad news, the firm said, is that the virus is not detectable using current anti -virus software.

The firm said that this is the second virus this year to bear romantic connotations, following the Love Bug worm of last spring.

Like the Love Bug worm, GFI said Romeo&Juliet is particularly dangerous because current virus scanners cannot detect it. The virus is transported by an e-mail containing malicious code, an executable file called My Romeo and a compiled file called My Juliet. - Newsbyte
