Anti-virus experts are warning of a new worm which changes a computer's home page to a porn site.
The worm, called JS.Forthnight, is an email-based worm. Once the user has clicked on a link within the email the target website launches the harmful code which then attaches itself to every email the user sends.
The worm makes changes to the infected computer's registry and IE or Netscape home page - redirecting it to a pornographic website.
The anti-virus specialist Symantec has classified the worm as a low risk because it has only seen few copies in the wild so far.
