Reports of infection are only just coming in. "

Fascinating. I didn't see any part, on what level destruction it does if any at all. What if it did mass scale destruction?

Nice virus. Inserts itself into running code?? Very nice. Absolutely diabolical.
I also liked the broken link on VnuNet to a geocities website. Nice touch guys.

the link works...sorta...just go to:
http://www.geocities.com/szorp
and click the link that says "Zmist Opportunities"
geoshite doesnt like having files linked to from other sites, so it doesnt let you look at them.
