2004 was the best-ever year for the capture, arrest and sentencing of virus writers

In total, eight virus writers were arrested

And yet at present time there are 60 viruses that can impact Mac's, and none of them will affect OS X.

100,000 or zero, tough choice.

Does anyone know the name of the virus or whatever it is that will:
Shutdown Outlook express using the MSOERES.DLL file
while denying acess to "add or remove programs"
while shutting down Windows Media Player
while stopping all downloads while
screwing up more things that I can think of right now?
If you do I'll pay good money for the answer.

A good anti-virus program as well as one that detects spyware, a firewall and strong browser security settings are at least half the battle. And don't open e-mail attachments, I did a few years back and will never make that mistake again.
