Tetris Virus
Jan 13 2005-Beware of operating systems bearing new games!
One of the latest viruses making the rounds infects users pc's while they play a game of Tetris on their computers. The worm, known as Cellery.A, looks for shared drives and other systems running versions of Windows, while people play the new free game that just showed up.
"If your company has a culture of allowing games to be played in the office, your staff may believe this is simply a new game that has been installed--rather than something that should cause concern," Graham Cluley said in a statement.
