How is Flashback a trojan? Also what percentage of new Windows malware over the past few years do you think are "viruses" according to your definition?
Am I the only one sick of the pedantic quibbling and nitpicking over the word "virus" in every Apple malware story when everyone knows that viruses really mean modern malware in this context in general parlance and not really floppy bootsector or executable file viruses of the 90s? Anti"viruses" try to defend against all types of malware, so making a huge distinction here doesn't really help the discussion.
- moheeb 14y agoReminds me of the folks that try to tell you you don't have the flu because you'd have a fever if you had the flu. You have a cold. I can almost hear the computer saying "I'm sick dickface....I don't care what you call it."
