When he said it, I thought to myself, "Oh, boy - this'll probably get  
picked up and distorted as being some kind of 'WiFi virus', heh."   
But I certainly agree with you that there was no sensationalism  
involved, he was just trying to describe the observed behavior.

Brian Krebs, an excellent reporter, did a very good job of explaining  
the actual Windows problem.  Hopefully, his reportage will become the  
canonical press reference and we won't end up with 'WiFi virus'  
hysteria.
