- Oh for crying out loud... Just what we need... A
- Virus-Construction Kit for beginners... I hope that McAfee gets their
- hands on this package ASAP, if not sooner. Here's an idea... Could
- someone conceivably write a virus that will seek out and destroy such
- a V.C.L. based on unique strings within the program? Just an idea...
- Please post when McAfee decodes these virii. I have a feeling that
- these virii will be at least as widespread as Jerusalem and Stoned in
- a matter of time.
