Do viruses of this type (exe infecting) still have much impact "in the wild"? Most news these days seems to be about worms and trojan horses. I presume this is because it's harder to transport a "useful" payload inside of a true virus, so they are more often than not written to satisfy the curiosity of the author.
- drdaeman 16y agoIn old days, software were copied (yeah, on floppies) from friend to friend. A true "sneakernet" P2P^W F2F-network. Nowadays, software is either obtained directly from authors (or packagers), or from more centralized P2P sources, and, in my personal perception, most of time flash drives are used is to transfer documents, not executables.
