[comp.virus] AIDS Program

WHMurray@DOCKMASTER.ARPA (12/22/89)

Does the AIDS program do what it purports to do?  Is that something that
the recipients were interested in having done?  Was it worth $.50 a day?

It is necessary to understand the answers to these questions in order to
know whether we are dealing with:

1) Attempted extortion;

2) A very expensive, obscurely motivated, and otherwise gratuitous
attack;

3) Or, a peculiarly inept attempt to market a program.
