What's most astonishing is that Kaspersky believes that the Worm.Win32.Flame virus has been out there undetected for over two years.

Yes, I read about this malware. Kind of scary.

Check out this analysis of the flame worm. That's a very professional product, built with a very nice tool set.

What systems does it affect? Nix's? Windows? Mac's? BSD? Android?

The article only mentions Windows characteristics (DLLs, MS vulnerabilities) so I assume it's limited to Windows.

Edit. The name is also a bit of a hint: Worm.Win32.Flame.

I wonder if it will get broken by updates. Even malware is getting bloated these days.

...but does it require IE6?

If oddly enough, Windows.

Hmm, I always thought that Windows is malware. So Flame and its ilk don't really change anything.

I was wondering when someone would say that.
