The "fun" here is the fact that people who are younger than some
viruses are asking these "rhetorical" questions.

Or maybe it's just funny. I forget. :-)

Speaking of which, do you want Consumer Reports to delete their 5500
"viruses", or do you want them to submit them to AV to see if they are

since most viruses are met with applications that analyze them (99%)
the addition of 5.5k would only help the analysis or prove 99% of the
company is useless ;-)
