Chernobyl (a CIH virus) would have to be favourite. It can render a Windos

Exactly that is why you can't be infected by a Winblows virus on a Mac
platform and vice versa. It also is the same reason you can't run Winbloze
apps in Linux without an emulator. BTW, haven't seen too many viruses for
Linux lately and how many are there for Winblows, umm ... around 50,000?
There is ONE documented Unix virus. It is called "Bliss" and was
written as an academic exercise to explore the theoretical possibility
of construction of virii that could traverse Unices. Bliss can infect
a user space, but then who gives write privileges to an ordinary user for
anything
True story:
A friend of mine who works for a local car dealership wanted some help
in designing their web page. He sent me an email, and a second one
was automagicaly generated for him by, you guessed it, Happy99. This
