    And, in fact, the virus has not been released on the Internet, but has been sent only to major antivirus companies by the creator of the code.

    i've heard of .gif spyware, but THIS IS RIDICULOUS!

    I invented the word 'FKers' - and I have evidence! Always remember that...


    False claim. The first usage of fk'ers ( that i've witnessed) was executed in november 2000 by mark fennel.

    In a cavern, in a canyon,
    Excavating for a mine,
    Dwelt a miner, forty-niner
    And his daughter Clementine.
    Oh my darling, Clementine
