 JW> Forget the Virus. the most Distructive Force on the Computer Scene is
 JW> the File Bomb!  i reseved a File Bomb on my bbs a Few Months back
 JW> it was Marked HARDOP.Zip it was a Harddrive Optimizer Program  and
 JW> when run  it would Deleted all the Harddrives partisions in one Blow!.
this is called a trojan (trojan horse program) not a file bomb... and it
is not a bigger threat than viruses currently because they are less
likely to affect people because they lack the ability to spread through
self-replication...
 JW> With Virus its a simple task of using VET or MF's to Kill them
 JW> But what can you Do with file bombs that dont show up as Virus.
 JW> but can Do more Then just Affect Files. it can Wipe out your Drives..
you keep backups, of course... and you don't execute programs from
unknown people...
and there are programs out there that can give you an idea of whether or
not a given program is a trojan or not... it's not as exact a science as
virus detection mind you, but trojans are not much of a threat...
... when the moon hits your eye .. hit it back, harder...
