 Ok, guys. It goes  like this... ;-) Try to find  some description of one of
 your viruses on the Internet that is such an error that it is plainly visi-
 ble even to people that  don't understand as much about viruses as the ave-
 rage 29A magazine reader is  doing. Append it at the  end of  the text file
 and send it  around  the rest of the  people... If it's hilarious enough we
 can also include people from outside 29A, but I think this is really a joke
 ;-) I hope  you guys are in for it. Here are two  sad examples of how great
 the virus analysts for Symantec are...

        VirusName:Rajaat.518 (1)
        Aliases:none
        Infection Length:N/A
        Likelihood:rare
        Regions Reported:N/A
        Target Platform:

        Description:

        The Rajaat.518 (1) virus is smaller than average. It is 0 bytes
        in length. It only infects .COM files. This virus can be caught
        through e-mail, BBSes, or the Internet. This virus is
        memory-resident. After the virus has been launched, it infects
        other programs as they are accessed. This virus actively hides
        itself while it is resident in memory. This virus has never been
        encountered by our customers. This virus does not have any known
        payload (that is, it does nothing other than replicate). It does
        not employ encryption. It is called a multipartite virus.
        Multipartite viruses can infect boot records as well as files.
        Because of the nature of the Rajaat.518 (1) virus, Norton
        AntiVirus is unable to repair infected files. To remove the
        virus, delete and reinstall all infected files.

 < Rajaat > And this is what Symantec has to say about my TSR Companion
            virus (companion viruses do create COM files and don't touch
            the EXE files themselves).

        customers. This virus does not have any known payload (that is,
        it does nothing other than replicate). This virus propagates
