64-bit virus threat found

Symantec reported Thursday that it has analyzed what it believes to be the first known threat to 64-bit Windows systems, a virus labeled W64.Rugrat.3344. Company representatives stated the threat was merely a so-called proof-of-concept virus, a worm developed by someone to show that vulnerabilities are present in a particular type of system, and not a virus already spreading in the wild.
