Virus Refers to Singer Avril Lavigne, Links to Her Website

She may just be a skater girl, but teen singer Avril Lavigne now has the dubious honor of having a successful computer virus pay homage to her. A new e-mail worm -- dubbed Avril, Lirva and Naith by various antivirus companies - -not only spreads by hitching a ride on e-mail messages that may refer to the 17-year-old Lavigne, but when activated, will also open a browser to the singer's official Web site.
