according to this Yahoo News article. Technically a worm, the Naked Wife virus shows up as an nakedwife.exe file email attachment that when clicked shows a cartoon while deleting Windows OS parts. It spreads by mailing itself to addresses in the Microsoft Outlook address book. Life is tough on The Dark Side. [Dana Baggett]
