NEWS A new variant of a previously discovered virus is luring excitable readers with the exotic promise of seeing Latino lovely, Jennifer Lopez, naked. In honour of National Bottom Week, an anonymous virus writer has unleashed an email attachment virus named after the pint-sized pop star with the prize posterior. The Out of Sight star's virus has yet to appear on any of the major virus protection vendors' websites, but it still has the potential to be very dangerous, according to US internet site Security Portal. The subject of the email reads "Where are you?" and the body text reads, "This is my pic in the beach!" The 17KB attachment is entitled "JENNIFERLOPEZ_NAKED.JPG.vbs" The script wipes a range of files, and more alarmingly, attempts to wipe a computer's hard disk and flash Bios, potentially rendering the computer useless. Earlier this year, thousands of lust driven computer users around the world were hit by a virus posing as a naughty pic of the photogenic tennis star, Anna Kournikova. If virus damage is related to the sex appeal of the star it's named after, then the Lopez virus could do even more damage. Lopez has twice been voted the World's Sexiest Woman by the readers of UK men's magazine FHM.
