I'd love to see the reaction of passer-by'ers as they do this...
Are you American by any chance?
I have an irrational fear of aliens and I read this right before bad.... hold me.
Ya! You try having your limbs severed and reattached by clicky-voiced aliens at night and see if you are normal!!!!
There's also some debate as to whether or not they are writing them as well. So, keep that conspiracy in mind.
Actually, not so much. I'm a technologist for a living and would like to consider myself rather savvy, and yet I still got hit by a couple of viruses recently. I'm not sure why... either some driveby managed to get through on Firefox (or one of the rare instances I use IE) or it got in through the network, but it got me. No more room for arrogance, I'll be running AVG thanks. :)
Uh... not many "servers" (windows or linux) get viruses... Because the people running them usually take measures to prevent such things. If you get a stupid sysadmin behind a linux server, it will likely be just as un-secured as windows.
overlords!
