Source of county computer virus found to be software vendor

The News-Review: "A bothersome computer virus that struck Douglas County's system last week has been traced to a laptop computer used by a software vendor.

The virus, a variant of the W32.Spybot worm, was introduced into the county computer network following a visit by a representative of Tiburon Inc., which supplies the software used by the Douglas County Sheriff's Office. The Tiburon employee plugged in her laptop during a visit Wednesday afternoon, allowing the virus to infect the 1,000 computers on the county's network."
