I'm just waiting for the day where a sysadmin gets fed up with being
scanned
by NIMDA and rewrites NIMDA to start patching the systems it infects. What would you call such a beast, a retro-virus or an anti-virus virus?
i believe it was thought of during code red, called code green afair. by the way, HIV is a retrovirus, (babylon.com says:) A family of RNA viruses that have the unique characteristic of producing an enzyme that makes a DNA copy of its genetic information from an RNA template (the opposite of what normally takes place). The most widely recognized of these viruses is HIV, the causative agent in AIDS. Another virus from this family (HTLV-1) has been associated with T cell leukemia. Initial reports of an association of an HTLV-II-like retrovirus with CFS could not be confirmed in subsequent studies. I dont think those terms are very fit for this situation.. -Arne / coKA|Ne
