Puff, can't tell you how much sales went up, but I guess it's a lot, there are many more PC's, many more people sharing files and many more people writing internet enabled malware. Can't say that it affects me, any significant shares I had in the company were sold way before that time and my pay is around the same as it was.
Christian, I commented on www.theregister.co.uk and did an interview with the BBC tonight. Most of the major US Tech sites should have information by now and no doubt the UK ones will be hunting for copy tomorrow.
David, it's good news for me if people stop writing malcode, there are thousands of pieces of code out there already that are still circulating, I need new ones as much as the subaru community needs new car thiefs.

Oh yeah, and as for writing them ourselves, I always thought that Autoglass broke windscreens, Dentmaster was careless in supermarket carparks and Firemen were pyromaniacs. Could of course all be true but I can assure you that helping people and pissing them off requires differing mindsets.

Anti virus is a good idea....but i wouldn't buy mcafee....conflicts with other software.....best is SOPHOS but it's expensive.....Norton's isn't too bad...
But there again Viruses can be the least of your problems....invest in firewall software £30ish well worth it Nortons or Zone-Alarm....after you install it you'll see how many people try and hack your p.c....it's easy...too easy....
