Neroma" carries the subject line "It's Near 911!." It contains a file attachment labeled "911.jpg" with the description "Nice **** baby!."

It is programmed to delete computer files on infected PCs and scan its Microsoft Outlook Express e-mail address book in search of more e-mail victims to sniff out.

"Vote.K," a new variation of a virus that first appeared shortly after the September 11 attacks, arrives in e-mail inboxes with the message "THE WAR HAS STARTED!," according to Finnish security firm F-Secure Corp.

It too threatens to delete files and carries a message "WORLD TRADE CENTER/WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THOSE LOST SOULS."

Meanwhile, British security firm Sophos Anti-Virus said a two-year-old e-mail that warns about a fictitious file-deleting virus called "WTC Survivor" is once again one of the most popular e-mail hoaxes in circulation.
