The destructive Sobig.F mass-mailing virus has been programmed to stop working on September 10 but that's not necessarily good news for IT guys around the globe.

That's because security experts expect a more sophisticated variant of the Sobig worm to start crawling through inboxes immediately after the September 10 deadline. "Sobig.G is very likely. It has been a serial process ever since Sobig started spreading in January this year. Variants come out one at a time and they never overlap," warned Chris Belthoff, Senior Security Analyst at Sophos, Inc.

This should just be loads of fun. I didn't get Sobig, but I did get buried in emails with the virus either attached (or replaced with an alert by Cincom's server). The sheer volume was obnoxious.
