An anonymous reader writes: Australian country singer Keith Urban has filed a lawsuit against a US painter of the same name, claiming that the lesser known Keith Urban's website KeithUrban.com infringes trademark and cyber-squatting laws.

The Australian singer's own website is located at KeithUrban.net. He wants the other website to be shut down and its domain name transferred to his ownership. He also seeks unspecified monetary damages.

The cyber bug, called worm.whboy because it originated in Wuhan, China, received the first five-star severity rating ever issued by the Shanghai Information Technology Service Center because it can attack local area networks in government bureaus and companies and damage their programs and databases.
It goes on to say:
The new worm can also prevent infected computers from operating antivirus software and any programs using the "exe" suffix.
Users will know their systems are infected if their executable file icons turn into images of pandas with burning joss sticks.
