Viruses (again)
stjarna Started conversation May 2, 2004
OK, so it's 5 weeks since I posted my last journal entry about computer viruses, and still the variants of Netsky, Beagle, etc. flood in - 670 in my inbox last week.
It suddenly dawned on me - none of these viruses do any actual damage to a computer - they mail themselves on, but rarely do they do any damage like the really old DOS viruses which would delete files or even format a hard drive willingly for you.
Perhaps once a mass-mailing email virus comes along that DOES delete files, people will sit up and listen and I won't be downloading several megabytes of viruses each day.
I can't wait.
