[comp.virus] Latest V-Alert on a "good virus"

  I don't care who you are - good, bad.. it doesn't matter, I don't
want *ANY* viruses!  This is *MY* computer system.  I prefer knowing
what's going on in here.  In order for you to create something that
will detect and erradicate all viruses but not harm any software or
applications - that is just a contradiction... I don't want to see my
files grow in size for any reasons.
   Viruses are sometimes modified by hackers and new strains appear,
so what is stopping someone from modifying your virus into a *bad*
virus that looks JUST LIKE the "good" one with the capability of
replacing the "good" one and wreaking havoc??
   If you started programming... stop.  That's my suggestion.
