Nachi - the good(?) virus.
Published July 31st, 2004 in News, va2.0, UncategorizedWell, I have often thought of how well these would fare out on the internet, attacking the prevalent viruses, removing them, and patching the infected computer. I imagined people would be just as pissed about a good virus as a bad one, just because they don’t know what is really going on inside their computer. The Nachi virus is a perfect example of these threats, if you can call them that. Microsoft is still warning people about it, even though it installs their patch. Unfourtuanetly it causes the same problems that real malicious viruses cause: bandwidth usage, proccessor usage, unauthorized access. Slashdot has a follow-up article asking people their opinions, it seems most people don’t like them either way. I personally think anti-bodies are a great idea, why throw some-one in jail for using unorthodox methods of fixing a wide-spread problem?
