Kaspersky Lab, an international anti-virus software development company, announces the discovery of a new Internet-worm "Jer", which has an ability to penetrate computers at the moment users visit infected web pages. "The worm is not so dangerous compared to such deplorably known monsters as "Chernobyl" or "Melissa". Also, it has some errors that enable a spreading routine only using IRC channels, but not e-mail.

"However, the appearance of this worm demonstrates the new technology of "promoting" viruses on the Internet. Firstly, the virus is placed on a web site.
