Monday mornings with Barack Obama

US president Barack Obama has generated a lot of feel good feelings in light of his meteoric rise to leader of the free world but if his floating head appears on your desktop on a Monday morning, then you have cause for concern.

A newly spotted Obama worm is said to float the president's head on Mondays only on the bottom right side of computers whose internet security has been compromised, according to the IDG News Service.

Walling Data, a value-added reseller in Claremont, North Carolina was the first to spot the online threat, which is however not being detected by any internet security software, it was claimed.

Rather bizarre is the fact that the worm appears not to be a password-stealing, data-breaching malware, but just one designed to float the president's head - on Mondays.

Barack Obama was sworn is as the 44th US president on January 20th.
