Well gang, Through the continued discussion over how it might or nmight not
be possible to infect the Kill Virus INIT, we have once again given all the
information necessary to write a virus that will operate in just such a
fashion. I am not going to detail these steps, as I don't want to contribute
to some scum's ability to do so. However, although viruses are a hot topic
and everyone want's to know about them, we would be wise to limit discussion
to eradication of known viruses, identification of symptoms, and limit the
technical "how does it work" discussions to more private forums like E-mail or
even better yet, land-lines.
