Anna K. Worm Writer Gets Slapped

 AMSTERDAM -- The Dutch creator of the "Anna Kournikova" virus, which infec=
ted computers worldwide, was sentenced on Thursday to 150 hours' community =
service.

The virus, disguised as a digital photo of the heartthrob Russian tennis st=
ar, e-mailed itself to millions of computers in February, slowing systems a=
nd shutting down some servers.

Its creator, a 20-year-old computer shop employee from the northern Dutch t=
own of Sneek, collected viruses and had by his own admission gathered some =
7,200, the court in the city of Leeuwarden said in its verdict.

"The virus he spread caused nuisance, concern and irritation to Internet us=
ers worldwide," the court said in its judgment, though it added that the da=
mage had been limited.

The man turned himself in to police shortly after creating the virus. In a =
letter he posted on the Web, he claimed inspiration in equal parts from dev=
otion to the 20-year-old Russian player and evidence that Internet users we=
re not taking steps to protect themselves from viruses.
