Ozair/Rob/Fred and to all others. Ok, my opinion quickly came up when I read this, not knocking anyone by any means, but my opinion has nothing to do with the spy plane, if only I had so much time to read everything about the plane and everything that happened. If I was in my old profession, then I would know and care a great deal about the subject, but after 18 years in DND and caring a great deal about IWAR and various friends/foes in IWAR it came time to move on. I am still inherently intrigued and interested in IWAR but it now stems from other means, working in civilian life for a company all facets of IWAR mean a great deal, but (BUT!) from a completely different perspective. When I made a comment it has nothing to due to China and the potential problems that are ongoing but due to the subject of virus (anti-virus). Having worked for DND one of our main concerns was with anti-virus software and the deployment of. The fact that so many people create and expose viruses for the rest of us to ponder, one wonders about the companies that put the newest *dat files out, and the stories that surround them. Why is it when a new virus comes out it is extremely funny how quick each of the anti-virus companies, make a statement and come out with a new *dat file for protection. The moment the virus is released there is a new protection. (how is this working with the anti-virus companies), sometimes and I know if we check over the past 2 weeks, there is a company that rcv'd a copy of the new virus that interacts with (windows/linux) and they are stating it causes such damage. Funny thing about it is, that there had not been a single noted case in the wild of this worm (virus) infecting any computers through-out the world. Yet, the amount of stories written about this unique worm astound me. I think a lot of it relates to what one would imagine as profit margin, the quicker each company gets out the patch (*.dat) to deal with the problem, and tells everyone about it, the quicker there profits will go up. Okay, that was strictly my opinion and not of company I currently work for, we may be a partner to one of the above companies I just spoke about, but I am not in there profit margin so I figured I would comment on it, I apologize now to anyone who takes offence to this and now I will back in my dark corner and works on TCP/IP/UDP and crypto. -----Original Message----- From: Ozair [mailto:ozair_rasheed@geocities.com] Sent: Friday, April 06, 2001 11:02 PM To: iwar@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [iwar] RE: China virus After reading all the mail on this topic. I think that the opinions are voiced with such sentiments due to the recent Spy Plane case. And I believe that Mr. Rob has very strong negative sentiments against Chinese.
