"Blank areas on the screen."
Does this mean that Windows9x is a virus? 
Huh?
Phil Posted May 19, 2000
No Win9x doesn't self replicate 
You could describe it as a trojan (as in the horse) designed to provent people from working
Huh?

Do you mean Software piracy is a virus or is it just that the users are ahead of the publishers game in understanding viral distribution?
Huh?

Software piracy? For Winblows? -stifles laughter- You've got to be kidding me! Who would want to copy that piece of bull excrement?
Huh?

Copying software doesn't make that software a virus, because it didn't copy itself. An example I could give is some shareware programs allow you to create a new setup disk by clicking a button within the program. Technically these are virii.
And don't say a virus has to do something malicious, because it doesn't. Some just display a message.
