Does it giggle incessantly? It could have been infected with the Marijuana virus. I-Worm.Mari comes as an e-mail with the subject line "check this out." When the computer "inhales," a Trojan Horse program sets the Internet Explorer browser start page to marijuana.com and pastes a pot leaf in the Windows system tray (no word yet if the virus affects the PC's short term memory or desire to work). The folks at marijuana.com are fuming - they say they have nothing to do with the wired weed, which could lead to harder viruses.
