Hi Eric!
Answering a message from Eric Adams to Stephen Shoesmith:
EA> Do you believe in "good virii?"
This is a contradiction in terms. A computer-virus is defined as
self-replicating code, started by a host-program without knowledge of the
user.
Thus it occupies HD-space, steels CPU-time - mostly without my knowledge.
I don't refer to things it possibly does - this above mentioned behaviour
makes *every* virus bad.
