Microsoft's flagship developer tools picked up the digital pest when the= company translated the program into Korean. A Microsoft representative= stressed that no other foreign-language versions of the program were found= to be infected. "Because the worm only infected the Korean version, we believe the number= of companies infected is small," the representative said, adding that= Microsoft released a patch last night. The Redmond, Wash.-based software giant released Visual Studio .Net in= February, and the Korean version made it to market some 90 days ago, the= representative said. Nimda started infecting computers last September and quickly became an= epidemic. However, since October, incidents of the worm have dropped way= down. Microsoft's representative could not immediately say how many Korean= companies had been infected by the worm-ladened copies of Visual Studio= .Net. The company is in the process of sending clean copies of the program to= every customer that bought the Korean-language version, said the= representative. -- This was sent to you from http://theMezz.com ------------------------ Yahoo!
