Its Not supposed to spread, it damges the cmos of the one its infecting, besides it should only affect camera's that have uploadable firmware or infrared communication or if you plug it into a PC thats infected
The virus reprogrames the EPROM chips, about 2 years ago I had a Nokia phone that was wiped with a virus. So ya it does exist, but it will only be written by a hacker to infect the largest base of products so as to do the most damage, think pentax fits in that one? ha Feroze ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rubenstein, Bruce M (Bruce)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2002 5:22 PM Subject: RE: DSLRs and viruses > Viruses attack via the operating system.
