Over in the world of PC spyware, virus attacks and malware, there's a continuing issue of getting one name tacked to each virus instead of today's typical half dozen. The latest threat had more than five names given by security vendors and experts: Blackmal, Nyxem-D and -E, MyWife.D and VB.NEI Set. It's frustrating and difficult to keep track of what's what, and while there are some good efforts being made to figure out a good solution, the work needs to be stepped up in light of the mobile virus threats that are clearly on the horizon. - Judy
