Well, let's give some thought here. Viruses area nuisance, to say the least. Having worked for NASA in computer security for over 12 years, I have never found a virus that was "advertised" ahead of deliver to be very active, or even threatening. If I were a virus programmer i would want the element of surprise to spread my deed, then take credit for it. Buy advertising that on such and such a date a virus is going to activate gives the companies that protect against viruses to come up with a protection. I would not be surprised if viruses were written for virus protection companies. However, I would never be without virus protection or a firewall. To be without is just asking for disaster.
Oh, the news today broadcast that there has not been much activity regarding the Conficker virus. Go figure.
