When Malware Attacks Malware
PetManimal writes "Researchers say that the Storm Trojan/Peacomm worm has been tweaked to spread via IM programs and attack rival malware. Symantec sounded the alarm, and says that the exploit launches in AOL, Google Talk, and Yahoo Messenger windows that are already open, making it appear to be a legitimate message from a known user. The worm has modified the code from last year's Nuwar worm, and when activated, enables a DDoS attack against any site, including antispam services and servers supporting rival malware: 'Systems hijacked by Peacomm have also conducted DDoS attacks against at least five domains used by the creators of the noted Warezov (or Stration) worm. After a busy September and October, Warezov was credited by some analysts as the genesis of 2006's massive fourth-quarter spike in spam volume.'"
I know you were trying to be funny but seriously ID and Evolution theories can co-exist. The only thing adherents to ID have a problem with is the idea that life (or code in this case) was spontaneously created by natural processes. This in fact has nothing to do with the theory of Evolution. I for one take as fact that bacteria mutate and are weeded out by natural selection and that malware code is mutated in much the same fashion although not so randomly.
There can be only one!
Nowhere in the Bible does it say that evolution does not occur. It does imply that Macro-Evolution or evolution from one species to another did not occur. But still it only loosely implies this.
