This struck me as kind of a stupid thing to say. As if the people who distribute these damned things give a crap about whether it is going to deleteriously impact their victims!

Dude, the people who PUBLISHED the "new and improved" version are supposed to be on OUR side. Or at least they CLAIM to be.

I have to agree with the author. What a bonehead move on somebody's part.

I was referring to the comment in the article about the "irresponsibility" of the person(s) who wrote the virus and released it into the wild on a holiday weekend. The people writing the fix, or those of us who may have to get this fixed know that referring to people who write viruses as irresponsible is just plain wrong. Irresponsible indicates a capacity for responsibilty, and those people are defined simply by the lack of it.
