- Virus writers have unleashed the first program that infects 64-bit Windows files (http://news.com.com/Virus+targets+64-bit+Windows/2100-1002_3-5320803.html?tag=nefd.top), antivirus firm Symantec said Monday. The virus, dubbed W64.Shruggle by Symantec, seems mainly to be an experiment to test the concept of a 64-bit infecter and is not actively spread, said Alfred Huger, senior director of security at Symantec.
