Mawanella computer virus on the loose

The "Mawanella" e-mail virus, a Kournikova derivative, has hit companies worldwide as it draws attention to the cause of Sri Lankan Muslims.

Named after a Sri Lankan village, the Visual Basic Script worm - VBS. VBSWG2. Z@mm - sends itself to all recipients in your Microsoft Outlook address book, but does no real damage besides clogging networks with e-mail. It arrives as an e-mail attachment, Mawanella.vbs, with the subject line Mawanella.
