Feb.15 - Li Jun, the creator of the widespread computer virus "joss-stick burning panda," has written a program to deal with the virus while in custody2.

 

Ye Tieguan, deputy director of the police bureau in Xiantao in central China's Hubei province, says that the anti-virus program is under testing by experts in the police department. If it works, the program will be released on the Internet in a week for free downloading.

 

The worm has infected over a million PCs in the country since it first hit the Internet in December.

 

It wreaks3 havoc4 among individual and corporate5 users, deleting files, damaging programs and attacking web portals.

 

The worm is dubbed6 as the "joss-stick burning panda" because it changes desktop7 icons8 into cute cartoon pandas, the most famous of which holds three burning joss-sticks, or Chinese incense9, in his paws.

 

It reportedly steals account names of online gamers and instant messengers, which are hotly traded with real money online in China.

 

Police in Hubei province detained eight men involved in the case on Monday. Li Jun admitted he wrote the virus last October and earned more than 100,000 yuan (US$12,890) by selling it to about 120 people.
