Don't trust anyone who can't even sign his real name to his postings.
:^):^):^)

As an aside, it appears that Don Brown (writer of Vaccine!) at CE
Software has actually received threats of things that would happen if
he released it.  They seem to be coming from a person identified only
as "Mike" on Compuserve.  "Mike" threatens to release a virus designed
to destroy people's harddisks should Don release Vaccine!

It is a curiosity to know what would provoke someone to be so
socio-pathological.  What could possibly motivate someone to take a
stance like this?  The only conclusion is that this person is just
plain evil, derives pleasure from releasing viruses and won't permit
anyone to interfere in his fun; a sick attitude at best.

As a precaution, when you download, keep a skeleton system disk handy.
Transfer the program to that disk, write-protect it and unmount your
harddisk before starting it up.  This should be a lot safer and good
protection against sick minds like "Mike"'s.
