"Bom Sabado! " - hope every one came across this word, since i was not in city last week, i cant update this..

A new worm has Hit Google's Orkut last week and its spreading fast, the Infection looks pretty stubborn .

This wierd worm appears to be similar to one that appeared in Dec' 2007 and the people behind are suspected to be the same. A Portuguese Greeter worm

This greets you in the scrap book "Bom Sabado! " which translates to "Good Saturday" in contrast to the earlier on with “2008 vem ai… que ele comece mto bem para vc.” This translates to “2008 is coming…I wish that it begins quite well for you”.
No external links are involved just viewing the scrap spreads the worm. Although no cases of account infringement are noticed yet . This worm look to be having only a intention of fairly "Spamming" with greets.

meanwhile the browser looks to be freezed however the code is executed in the background.

No official reports are out yet in this matter on the statistics and its impact.

The best countermeasure is tostay away from viewing the scrap or use "Noscripts" addon or block the scripts on the browser.
