Gee! Whatta Surprise! He even LIED when he was RAID and
distributing/passing his viruses.

Remember how he claimed he was innocent because all he did was have
the viruses on his page and it wasn't his fault what people who
downloaded them did with them? LIAR!

He LIES!  He ALWAYS LIES!  ALWAYS!

ALWAYS!  ALWAYS!  ALWAYS!  ALWAYS!

Toadie virus poses serious threat

Summary: Toadie virus hits Austrian company's HQ... hard

Will Knight

The Austrian headquarters of an international company was brought to
its knees over the weekend by a new and potentially lethal virus,
according to anti-virus company Sophos.

Sophos revealed the existence of Toadie.exe today, but was unwilling
to disclose the name of the unfortunate company because it is a
customer.

Graham Cluley, senior technical consultant with Sophos Anti-Virus,
warns the attack should be taken seriously. "The fact that it's being
actively distributed in the same way to Melissa, is very worrying," he
says.

Toadie.exe is written in high level language, ASIC, and attaches
itself to email messages waiting to be sent.

Toadie's creator, "Raid", is actively distributing the virus in the
guise of a program for cloning cell-phones as well as a program
designed to generate adult site passwords, says Sophos.

Despite Sophos' concern, the general manager of Datafellows anti-virus
believes there is little cause for immediate alarm. "We've known about
this virus since last August 19, and do not think it is particularly
dangerous. It is not very discrete as it slows down performance
considerably. As long as someone has automatically updating anti-virus
software they will be okay."
