While true, they're all handled by "antivirus," and for the discussion at hand, the distinction is irrelevant. Most people don't have conversations where the distinction *is* relevant, so most of the time, it's ok to just say "virus" referring to all of them. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
