International soccer celebrity David Beckham has joined the likes of the "naked wife," Britney Spears and tennis beauty Anna Kournikova as the basis of a computer virus ploy that entices users with explicit pictures. Instead of viewing pictures, users who click on an e-mailed link promising the pict...
Computer and Internet security experts were closely watching the development of a mysterious outbreak that appears to have used a new tactic against an old vulnerability to infect thousands, possibly millions, of Web servers, Internet sites and Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser users.
