We have already pointed this out.  It is not a very clever technique (and
the viruses that spread far are usually very clever).

Much of what you describe falls into the trojan horse category,  not the
virus category.  Trojan horse's never spread very far,  as their
consequences are noticed forthright.

[MODERATOR HAT ON]

Unless someone wants to start posting detailed OS/2 programming techniques
or OS/2 source code,  I am deeming the whole virus/trojan issue off topic
in this echo.
