It seems to me that one of the biggest problem with virus attacks is that we all treat this as a necessary evil. Not only should we report each and every virus attack ot the police, no matter how annoying that may be for them, so that the attack is noted as crime, but perhaps some body should be encouraging organisations to take legal action and other measures against convicted virus manufacturers - granted that would probably not net much in the way of direct return, but surely hounding the people for the rest of their lives in whatever ways are legally possible might act as some kind of a deterrent. If for example 100,000 companies donated £10 a year for rewards for the capture of virus writers (ie a fund of 1 million pound) that might encourage some of their pals to shop them? Beets sitting doing nothing about it?
