mellisa virus

[dimava]

did you guys know that the mellisa virus was made in Visual Basic? Yep thats right, in VB, my mom's colledge teacher got a copy of the source somehoe (he didn't show the class)

and thinking of it, it can't be that hard to make a virus

[oetje]

It was, just like the I Love You virus written in Visual Basic Script. You can also make a visual basic script, it's the look-a-like of a dos .bat file for Windows. I tought the file extension is .vbh, but I'm not sure.

*.VBS extension.....
