do you know how long it takes to compile and distribute a new version of a virus? considering every virus these days is typically a botnet client, all the author would have to do is type ".download newpath" or related. you're really not making any point at all.
lets ban markee, because there's a one in a million chance that his msghelp.net account will be compromised some time in the future and have a virii writer post a link to a virus on the forums. in another one in a million chance one or two people might actually run it and be infected.
