Woah, that's a mean one. I wish I could find a copy for my own analysis. It's pretty old and probably wouldn't work on Windows NT Systems but I still want it, so any one?

I'm going to reference Star Trek Voyager here. In the two-part episode Scorpion, the Doctor modifies Borg nanoprobes (viruses, normally malicious) to assimilate malicious cells (infect and keep going on infecting other malicous cells) but not other cells. A few seconds after the malicious cells are assimilated, the good virus destroys itself, taking the formerly malicious cell along with it.
These nanoprobes can jump from cell to cell, assimilating cells but not becoming attached to the cell.
That's an example of a bad virus turned good.
EDITL: woot, first star!

It's also starry-eyed sci-fi wishful thinking.

don't forget, nanotechnology is on its advance. All they really need now is mechanical parts of that size to let the nightmare begin

So you think with computers we need "nanoviruses" that are little miniature parts of a virus that point to segments in memory and then do their evil bidding?
Like so:
Code: Select all
Virus section one:
code code code code code
load self in to memory
next section to load location
section two:
code code code code code
load self in to memory
next section to load location
section three:
code code code code code
load self in to memory
next section to load location
section four:
code code code code code
load self in to memory
piece together virus
infect other files (with new signatures or something)

At lease you didn't have a virus that almost lost 6 year worth of work.
Tell me what this virus is. IT show a little window nothing on it then crash the computer. (plus my dad computer got this same virus too)
Second, the computer won't start. So I put on My backup Floppy disk (My computer is 5 year old and running Windows ME at the time.) Use the MS-DOS Edit command and what I found is shocking.
The file before the virus infected my computer.
Explorer.exe
After the Virus
EX#$@
[email protected]
plus it corrupted
And only anything that under 64K is usable.
Only cure is to reformatted my computer
If only I found who did it I will make a virus and put on his computer and feel what is like to almost lose 6 year worth of data.
