Was there a point to that site besides freezing a browser?

Thanks! I had never heard of a "rabbitt" either.
If I follow your post I will soon see the light

Very nice NullDevice(hehe that ryhmes),
I think another name worth mentioning in the history of computer viruses is Fred Cohen author of "Computer Viruses: Theory and Experiments" who pioneered ideas in virus propagation and is known for the positive virus(aka compression virus),Cohen's Contradictory Virus,and Cohen's Evolutionary Virus. Cohen began his experiments in 1983 on a VAX 11/750 running UNIX.
"We define a computer virus as a program that can infect other programs by modifying them to include a slightly altered copy of itself. A virus can spread throughout a computer system or network using the authorizations of every user to infect their programs. Every program that is infected can also act as a virus and thus the infection grows."

Now for my question: is there a proper way to write the plural form of virus? Is it viruses or virii or does it matter?
well keezel..i have also seen it written both ways..but i think gramatically virii is the correct form
any other views???

Funny enough its 'viruses' Heres an excerpt from Oxford English Dictionary:
"b Pl. viruses. An infectious organism that is usu. submicroscopic, can multiply only inside certain living host cells (in many cases causing disease) and is now understood to be a non-cellular structure lacking any intrinsic metabolism and usually comprising a DNA or RNA core inside a protein coat (see also quot. 1977). [ Formerly referred to as filterable viruses, their first distinguishing characteristic being the ability to pass through filters that retained bacteria. ] "
