Oh, I'm not really knocking it...yes, as a special effects movie, it wasn't
really expected to be accurate was it?  It's just they went to all the
trouble of these accurate area 51 investigations and accurate whitehouse
replications and then they screw up on viruses. It's quite common, I'm
noticing for a virus to enter a TV program or movie to act as the "computers
can be bad" message.  Really sad...recently I saw a cartoon with a "virus"
which went around doing bad things.  Stupid thing didn't even replicate :-)
