WORM_YAHLOVER.AL is latest worm infecting Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP and Server 2003. It disable the Task Manager, the Registry Editor and the Folder Options on the affected windows system. Good thing for Microsoft is that, vista is still safe from such scripts. This worm make some modification in registry.

Another good news is that, most antivirus have updated their virus defination for new worm.So, all windows user much update their antivirus defination.

This is on my own website./..so I am not mentioning any source.

This a method followed by guys who want to propagate Linux. Well, whats your problem ?

One of my friends has formed a LUG at his college and he, his friend is gonna teach the members of LUG how to install Linux on their Laptops.

Since I am not at College (School), so this the only method I can use to propagate Linux. :D
