Dear sir,After reading your article on the Spanish virus writer.I would like to know what type of person was infected by the virus he wrote?Were they all business's or just private people?This day and age with modern "fire-walls" that obviously can be by-passed I am amazed, slightly naiveley, that people get caught so easily.Especially business's who rely every day on computers.The man who allegedly wrote the virus was he a computer expert if there is such a thing.Or was he a 19 year old spotty geek who has a pal who taught him all the computer languages to make virus's and just for the hell of it went to town.
