The sad thing about these virus-stuff is, that most of the time it's nothing
more than some sort of executable, which does something bad when starting it..
maybe I should create a CD with a 'setup.exe' on it, which deletes a file.. and
it's a virus. wow! :)

The viruses on the Amiga at least tried to hide in the bootblock of a disk or
they attached themselves on (at?) an executable. These days it's enough to send
a dumb script which deletes a random file and half the world is 'infected'.
Sheesh! Why not simply use an email-client which shows mail as text and that's
it? :) [read: something other than Outlook]

Sorry for the rant. :)
