I would like to correct the impression your assertion creates. That is
that the AIDS virus is from Nigeria. The names are quite exotic but as
a Nigerian I'd like to inform you of a fact you neglected: that the
names might be false . Well, Well, Well: the NAMES are all FALSE. We
don't answer such names. As a regular user of the PC, just as I would
like you to get to the bottom of this problem because it's a real
international problem, I would like you to be objective. Somebody
somewhere is/are covering his/their track(s) by stringing a red
herring.

Doesn't the name Mekonen remind you of a personality in Startrek?

I'm ready to be flamed but I can assure you that the above names are
fictitious. We certainly have not come of age in Computer Science to
produce such destructive weapons. It's obvious that some malefactor
somewhere is hiding under certain names to do his/their evil deeds.
