Hi, AxessTerminated ,

Most of the virus source I see is in asm, is this because it was decompiled that way, or are most viruses, like Zotob, and the original msblaster written in ASM?
If they are very old viruses, then they were probably written in ASM, otherwise I think the idea is to deter skiddies, who wouldn't know how to compile an ASM proggy, let alone modify it first.

It sort of shifts the blame from the publisher/host of the code to the person who took it and used it for malicious purposes.
