A cancer researcher found his machine infected. Here's the story of
Dustin Cook's reaction.

Dustin Coook gives him a LOL and "Yes" to question if he could help
but wouldn't.

A bunch of people helped this Dr. recover his files. As for Raid's
response, he couldn't have cared less. He gave a lame excuse the
virus was not supposed to be out in the wild. Then why was it on his
Web page for download along with many others. If you follow
Raid/Dustin Cook's multi replies at the following URL, you will be
reacquainted with the fact of what a total uncaring sociopathic
monster he is, and this matter with Dr. Koch proves it beyond the
shadow of a doubt. (Although, Dustin Cook enablers like lip####z,
FromTheRafters and G Moron will explain it away for him.)

When you come down to the nitty gritty of this affair, It really
doesn't matter which virus it was because this is exactly what can
happen and have horrible results these Vxr's can wreak on a
scientist/doctor's computer. Did Raid care? Hell, no. He's a double-
talking, wiseass son of a bitch throughout his replies. Folks, THIS
IS THE REAL RAID/DUSTIN COOK. And yet scum like lip####z and
FromTheRafters and G Moron defend him. What does that tell you about
them?

You can see again at the bottom of Raid's reply how he refuses to
tell the doctor how to fix the problem - and adds insult to injury
with a LOL and saying "Yes" he could help him but won't.

How do we spell D-U-S-T-I-N--C-O-O-K--I-S--A--P-I-E-C-E--O-F--S-H-I-T, kiddies?

Hello Raid,
I figured you would turn up to gloat about this whole thing.
I have actually recovered both my files and system.
Thanks to everyone who helped.
Thanks to Raid for not making the payload too harsh. ; )

I can't help but wonder though, why don't you do something positive
with your time...

The vbs file is created by the executable that referenced it,
Only one time however. Your machine was marked for future
incidents should another virus ever come your way that knows
about the identification. Irok uses the marker so it doesn't
place another .vbs file in your startup directory. I only want
you to email your friends and associates once. If you did so more
then one time, they might know something's up. Norton will not be
aware of the virus until they have decided upon a unique
scanstring to use. Hueristics never have been a problem for me.

The lyrics quoted are from Tool Anema. While it does say your
hard disk was erased, that's not exactly accurate. :) I'll leave
you to figure out what happened to your stuff, if anything.

LOL! That's because nothing was wrong with your file allocation
tables in the first place.

>my hard drive?

Yes and Yes.
