Actually her virii aren't anything unusual. Most of her worms are just the average outlook/IRC-dcc spreading crap. When ever one does actually make it into the wild it doesn't spead nearly as badly as some of the other crap out there. And I kinda agree that if you make the programs its not your fault if peaple tend to modify and abuse them and also it does sounds like they are just out to scare peaple. However I did hear that she personally and purposly spread yahasux.

**** it... I found it interesting "(unlike the other hyped up BS involveing Giga most of which has nothing to do with virus writeing or the VX scene)" and I didn't see it posted here. !enjoy!
