Damn - I hate these guys

Yes... hate is a strong word, but I do. This kind of sophomoric crap is getting way out of hand. Find em, jail em, hell - kill em, I don't care. (sheesh, you're a bit testy tonite aren't you -- ed.) Yep. I am.

Security Watch: The next Sober virus attack - CNET reviews: "Imagine sending a very large and sophisticated virus over e-mail--your ISP or company would certainly stop it dead at the gateway. So, virus writers have started sending out smaller versions that merely infect. Once installed, the small virus then opens a backdoor to call out to the predetermined Web server IP address from which it then loads a more sophisticated version of itself (or it transforms the infected PC into a conduit for spam, pornography, or a host of other malicious uses). If the small virus downloaded the larger code upon infection, there would be a collision of newly infected machines and second-wave infections, so virus writers have started delaying the second wave by several days or even several weeks."
