There's worms in here!

It's not surprising that those malicious email viruses that used to come into your inbox, access all of your contacts, and email themselves to each and every address you had listed, have now turned to the world of instant messaging. That’s right folks, over 30 new viruses reported have been transferred over instant messaging networks. MSN leads the pack in infections with Yahoo! trailing far behind and AIM left in the dust. The hot viruses today are the Bropia, Kelvir, and Bizex worms.

What does this mean for me? I've been using AIM on my phone, does that mean I should be worrying about a mobile phone virus in the near future? It’s impossible for me to go a 24 hr span without sending some sort of instant message. In fact I’ve been awake for 1 1/2 hours today and I’ve already had 4 separate IM conversations. I suppose it's like Biggie said (with a tech twist), "more technology, more problems"
