SAN FRANCISCO - One of the nastiest and most persistent sources of spam turned a year old.

Since it touched down in e-mail inboxes, the Storm virus has infected at least 1 million PCs worldwide and is responsible for billions of spam messages. Since July, e-mail management company Postini alone has blocked nearly 1.5 billion copies of Storm. (Before Storm hit, Postini blocked about 1 million tainted e-mail messages a day.)

.....In addition to employing ever-changing e-mail subject headers, Storm's purveyors in September began planting invisible infections on hobby Web sites and community forums, including a forum for Apple Macintosh users. Merely browsing to one of these Web sites infected the visitor's PC.
