A new Internet worm spreading worldwide hits computers with certain Microsoft operating systems and causes no apparent damage, but closes down the operating system and sends it into a re-boot loop US security firms said.
The Sasser worm virus affects computers operating Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP, but not Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, or Windows NT, Symantec said. Nor are computers using the Macintosh, Linux or UNIX systems affected.
