Computers across the United States are being hit, including those at cable news station CNN, television network ABC and The New York Times. Tokyo-based antivirus company Trend Micro blames the havoc on various worms, including the Zotob worm that hit the Internet over the weekend and new variants of the Rbot worm.
All of the worms exploit a security hole in the plug-and-play feature in the Windows 2000 operating system. Microsoft offered a fix for the bug as part of its monthly patching cycle last week. The software maker deemed the issue “critical,” its most serious rating.

Afghanistan, Aug. 16 -
A Spanish military helicopter crashed in the desert in western Afghanistan on Tuesday, killing all 17 on board, in what military officials said appeared to be an accident. A second helicopter made a forced landing in the same area, injuring 5 of the 17 Spanish soldiers on board, the NATO-led International Security and Assistance Force said in a statement.
“ISAF believes that this is the result of an accident, but will not prejudge the results of the investigation,” said Maj. Andrew Elmes, a spokesman for the force in Kabul.
