Computer viruses make it to orbit.

A computer virus is alive and well on the International Space Station (ISS).

Nasa has confirmed that laptops carried to the ISS in July were infected 
with a virus known as Gammima.AG.

The worm was first detected on Earth in August 2007 and lurks on 
infected machines waiting to steal login names for popular online games.

Nasa said it was not the first time computer viruses had travelled into 
space and it was investigating how the machines were infected.
