-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - From how that article reads, and the fact that the also say that "...The virus heavily compromised security of PCs and laptops as it kept sending unsolicited email from the infected computer, said Mr Niraj Kaushik, country manager, Trend Micro, India and Saarc," it would appear that the author got a little confused. I think he meant that the virus sent copies of e-mails, not the antivirus, but who knows? It's a very confused article. :-) - - ferg - -- Nicolas FISCHBACH <nicolist () securite org> wrote: Juha-Matti Laurio wrote:
