mgkimsal: random thought -
mgkimsal: why is it that virus writers invariably can't spell or write
worth a dime?
mgkimsal: do they think that by putting in bad spelling/grammar more people
will think it's 'real'?
mgkimsal: I swear, the first time someone puts together a *real* virus -
something that can generically put together random yet coherent and
real sounding email messages - we'll be in for a real treat.
camworld2: i still think a virus that deletes Outlook and installs Eudora
would be great
mgkimsal: no argument here
camworld2: think about it, a PROACTIVE virus that does good
mgkimsal: actually, we were just talking about this here
mgkimsal: one of the things diehard Outlook fans like is the
calendar/appointment thing
mgkimsal: if you wrote a virus that simply moved people's appointments around,
without drawing attention to itself, you'd do more damage than
anyone could imagine
mgkimsal: don't have it replicate 50,000 times per hour
mgkimsal: just now and then
mgkimsal: and silently change Bob's appointment from 1:00pm to 9:30am
mgkimsal: he'll drive somewhere when he shouldn't be, etc.
camworld2: ha ha
mgkimsal: I'm too evil...
camworld2: insert2
