Default New Virus

Someone at my company told me there is a new virus out. The "*.*" virus. To get rid of it you must open up a dos window and type "delete *.*" with out the quotes.

Luckily, someone had a paperbag for me to breath into after hyperventilating laughing my a$$ off.

Don't try this if you don't know what it does.

There is a similar one in unix, but due to its (unix) security model there are several steps required to clean it!
Code:
$ su
Enter password:
# cd /
# /bin/rm -Rf *
