Robert Vamosi Former Editor
As CNET's former resident security expert, Robert Vamosi has been interviewed on the BBC, CNN, MSNBC, and other outlets to share his knowledge about the latest online threats and to offer advice on personal and corporate security.
Antivirus vendor Virus.Linux.Bi.a/Virus.Win32.Bi.a. According to the Russian antivirus vendor, this virus is "capable of infecting the different file formats used by Linux and Windows--ELF and PE format files, respectively." But fear not: Kaspersky emphasizes that Virus.Linux.Bi.a/Virus.Win32.Bi.a is a classic proof-of-concept virus, submitted directly to Kaspersky's labs and not found in the wild. Still, with all the fuss being made about Windows XP (and possibly Linux) running on Intel-based Macs, could a Mac-Win32 proof-of-concept virus be far behind?
