The Storm superworm is smart, morphs at will, evades capture, and has infected millions of computers. Antivirus companies have no clue how to stop it.

For now, it’s does little except send out stock scam emails and attack sites that go after it. But what happens when it goes live and launches a serious assault? That’s what has security experts worried.

It attacks Windows computers. So Macs and Unix/Linux are safe. But if your web servers run Microsoft IIS, then you could be at risk.
