NEWS Anti-virus experts are warning UK businesses to be wary of a worm that masquerades as a Bill Clinton cartoon. The cari.scr worm has been infecting computers in Asia and Australia overnight and is expected to hit European networks today. The worm arrives in an email with the subject "bill caricature" and an attachment named "cari.scr". When the attachment is run, a cartoon of Bill Clinton will appear, playing a saxophone from which a bra is emerging. Anti-virus experts said the worm is not a serious threat as it doesn't delete data from user's hard drive, but urged companies to remain alert. Natasha Staley, anti-virus consultant at Sophos, said: "We have seen handful of reports in the UK already. The worm is currently low to medium threat, but we are keeping an eye on it".
