IT'S SO BIG: Get your mind out of the gutter, that's the name of the virus currently circulating - the one that's been declared fastest spreading virus of all time. One estimate is that right now the virus accounts for one out of every 17 e-mail messages being sent at the moment. And when combined with the Blaster and Nachi internet worms, it's slowed down the very backbone of the internet. (See, e.g., Reuters, WaPo, Bloomberg, Internetnews.com, The Register (UK), Market Wire)

But that's all beside the point. Which is, I've received 126 e-mails with this virus in the last two days. And even I'm starting to get a little ticked.

UPDATE: 128
UPDATE: 208 (9:00 am)
