Virii programs came into play in the
1980's in full force and to this day turn every online binary transfer into
a potential hazard. Well, maybe that's not entirely true, but you wouldn't
know it from the hype and hysteria bred in the world. Meanwhile, fascinating
artistic studies of the programming of Virii exist out there and will be
brought here. As a rule, I don't include Virus Source Code, since that's just
programming, and boring as all hell. if there's a discussion or writing about
how to make virii, I include that. This is the arbitrariness of the host.
