so here's a question about the viruses. does a router with a natural firewall

One last point, the two e-mail addresses you mentioned, are most likely
spoofed (since sobig.F spoofs the from address). Take a look at

Get a life, mate. I've had over 30 of the damn things
Chernobyl (a CIH virus) would have to be favourite. It can render a Windos
machine totally unbootable, necessitating a format (to remove the virus
fully) and a reinstall.
Not big deal ; Bill Gates did too .

Umm, couldn't you just open another xterm (Alt + f3 or something) and kill

Nope, user and group permissions protect everyone but root from hurting

Hi,
not to give anyone any idea but a very simple destructive script can be
constructed with virus qualities.
1) Append a "at" command to a virus script to user's startup script.
2)The virus script would list all the processes running and extract those
PIDs with the current user name.

NO! Most of the "virus scanners" you'll see for *nix are
for checking DOS files for viruses, not for checking for
Linux virii.
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?
