The early whisperings of EAI's (enterprise application integration's) demise are proving premature, and the technology is now finding a few emerging options. Among EAI's new brethren are companies focused on IDI (Internet data integration) and EBI (e-business integration).

The virus -- known variously as W32.Winux, Linux.PEElf.2132, Linux.Winux, or W32/Lindose -- is carried in Linux or Windows executable files. When an application infected with it is run, it spreads to other executable files in the same or adjacent directories in the file system.

The advisory said Microsoft's OLE DB for Internet publishing program, a tool used to help Web-publish information stored in databases, gives a scripting interface for accessing and manipulating objects on IIS 5.0 or in Web storage.
