Yeah, I know the difference between a virus and a trojan horse (thanks to that nice computer security course I took in college) but since the effects of the malware is pretty much the same, I'm not going to bother to make the distinction. An infection is an infection whether it's caused by a virus or a bacterium. But anyway, I thought the government in an effort to avoid hypertechnical arguments about what is and is not a "virus" -- or a "worm" or a "Trojan horse," etc. and whether they differ from "viruses" -- outlawad the transmission of a program, information, code, or command that "cause[s] damage to a computer, computer system, network, information, data or program." I think it was 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1030(a)(5)(A). Usually, nobody knows the source of malicious code, but if this company is flagrantly causing havoc-- we know who's behind it-- you'd think that the Feds would shut them down. Sureely somebody must have complained by now. I don't see why this company hasn't been stopped.
