The anti-virus maker's PR machine swings into motion with the announcement of the CIH virus. Note from this account particularly the amalgam of ways it supposedly spreads: It's an EXE file; no wait, leave your e-mail attachments unopened; no wait it actually infects other EXE files and sits dormant; no wait, it infects floppy disks (boot sectors?).

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
