An Argentine teenager who calls himself [K] has released Version 2 of his 
VBS Worm Generator as well as his first bug patch. Version 1 was used to 
produce, with noteworthy ease, February's Anna Kournikova worm. He says 
that the worms created by the program will be undetectable by most 
antiviral programs.
The software is reportedly simple to use and is equipped, according to 
Wired, with a "remarkably lucid help file." One security expert says the 
tool signals a new age in worm generation and that we can expect to see new 
worms spreading fast in the near future. New features include an 
"anti-deletion" option that causes the worm to recreate itself if deleted 
and the ability to change the name of a computer's registered owner. The 
worms use an encryption technique to disguise themselves from anti-viral 
software.
