I really wish the kids writing these stupid viruses would find something better to do with their time.
I don't understand the enjoyment these people get in screwing up someone else's property or bogging down the internet. Since I work for a large company, we spend a fair amount of time making sure our virus protection is up-to-date, our operating systems are patched, our routers are well-protected, etc. And for what? Not because we have tons of super-confidential data here in the office, but because some whacko loner geek with no social skills in Malaysia thinks it would make him famous to cause a denial of service attack on SCO or Microsoft.
Please.
The internet is such an amazing and useful tool, it frustrates me that the immature bastards propagating this garbage feel it's their right to impose this crap on other people. You're just common street trash in my opinion. Right up there with vandals and graffitiists. Nobody cares about your "cause", however inane it may be, and the only fame you'll be seeing is a picture of you in a pair of handcuffs when the authorities eventually catch up with you.
Stop screwing up my internet speed with your stupid virus. I have ebay shopping to do.
