Far be it from me to promote virus writers, but what is all the big fuss? It's a game - one person writes a virus - the other counter-acts. If everyone stops writing virus' and get's a concience will Sophos and Norton be happy to go out of business? No - didn't think so. Like Good & Evil the one needs the other to survive. Without the likes of Norton and Sophos machines would be so infested that they would become unusable. So enough of the slaging match eh? To virus writers : Write better, tighter code to evade capture and exploit security holes. AV Writers / M$ : Write better tighter code and stop leaving gaping holes in your work!
