Looks like PHP, the darling of Internet development, has joined the ranks of mortal software. It now has a virus it can call all its very own. Read about it at http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/php.pirus.html

man virus writers just don't have the skill they use to do they! They're getting so lazy they don't even write in assembly or c/c++, now it's all stupid script languages.

LOL! You can say that again. Back in my DOS days I used to keep a set of "captive" viruses on floppies and study them through an assembly language debugger. Really efficient, clever code. Now, with a simple <? include("virus.php") ?> anybody can get into the act. No class, no subtlety. The bar has certainly been lowered. ;)
