People who reacted to the Inqtana FUD and bought Sophos' anti-virus software were in for a nasty surprise PING!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

I know this isn't a technical post, but isn't there a special place in the inner rings of Hell for virus writers?

And I know it is "cruel and unusual" punishment, but they should inject something into virus writers' fingers to create paralysis for 10 years.

Let the punishment fit the crime.

---"First they 'find' a virus, then they start a FUD[fear, uncertainty and doubt] factory of misinformation, and finally they turn loose the REAL virus (called their anti-virus software) on the newly paranoid Mac users they stirred up," a user wrote on the Macfixit Apple enthusiasts' website.---

I love it!

Do a search for w0rm-support.tgz

If nothing shows up, forget about it.

We have all been told that Macs don't get virus's. Then why in the world do they need anti-virus software?
