Inaccurate Data edit

Your data is inaccurate. Form could infect hard drives. It ran on startup from computers with infected hard drives. This is how it spread to floppies. I'll give you a few days to correct this. If it's not corrected I'll fix it myself. (Yes there are also other errors.) (Corrected a few - as mistake Form doesn't infect hard drives which it of course did spectacularly.)

One Must Wonder edit

I've been reading the history of this article. In particular I noted someone who made a change and wrote 'I have some experience with this virus. It does not encrypt its message.' Well of course it didn't encrypt it! But now I have to wonder: why would anyone write that it had? My only conclusion is that people are writing things here with an ambition they can't cash. What is Wikipedia - an encyclopaedia or a scribble board?

Plagiarism? edit

I note great sections of this article seem to have been taken from the (incorrect) F-Secure treatise on the subject. Whoever did this took out the sections he/she couldn't understand but otherwise left the text intact. As such I have to accuse the article of being plagiarism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.217.144.160 (talk) 06:04, 1 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
