"Security researchers at Symantec have discovered a new proof of concept virus that targets processors rather than operating systems.

The worm comes in two versions, targeting 32-bit and 64-bit processors from AMD. Symantec refers to the online pests as w32.bounds and w64.bounds. Because it involves proof of concept code, both viruses are rated as low level threats."
what do you guys think of this?
