Psychotic Behaviour
The virus writers are behaving like the Unibomber before he got caught. The major difference is that real people were injured from the bombs while the viri just clog the Internet communications so in a way they are more humane criminals.

It's a shame that some people require the world to give them attention for their malicious intent. And yes all viri whether trojan or spam bots are malicious. They have no place on my system becuase I did not invite them there in the first place.

To all you MS bashers, MS is not malware just like virus wrtiers either. I purchsed my software, agreed to the terms, and therefore invited MS on to my system. Note the formation of an explicit contract. I have not formed any contract or social agreement with malware writers and therefore am not pleased with their product.

Lastly, delete the &%*$# email. It's like junk mail--or I gues you open every single letter stating 'YOU MAY HAVE WON $1 MILLION!!!' I delete junk all the time on my yahoo account. And don't give the tired whine about how it takes too long and stuff. Just look at the from address--you don't immediately recognize it, out it goes. It is true that occasionally workmates will send a message with 'your document'. But if I don't recognize the from person, it gets deleted.

Just a little ranting
