- I know that YOU do not consider it a trojan but others might. It formats
- drives. Thats what it is. It is not called format so therefore it was (and
- still is a trojan). Unless my understanding on the word trojan is not the
- right one. Gee now lets see. a trojan is something that does something
- other than what it calms to.
- Please correct me if I am wrong
