According to this (PC) week's Spencer Katt column, certain anti-viral
software houses are boosting their counts by soliciting viruses for
pay and programmers are taking them up for "big bucks".
Gee-gosharootie, have we been missing out on an income potential:
wonder what 100 more STONED clones, half with stealth would bring in ?
Shouldn't take more than five minutes each.
Kind of reminds me of the Byte-Brothers comical PARASCAN program's
ending: "PARASCAN detects 75 viruses (this was last year) & will
detect more as soon as we write some." <from memory so may be
mis-quoted>
Oh well, at least it is better than the Windows-melting virus in
April.
Bemusidly,
Padgett
Obviously my own thoughts - no one else would want them !
