I have heard the same.  BTW, don't the more modern Visual Basic programs run
only in Windoze, and are you not required to have the visual basic runtime
modules installed in your Windoze OS in order for the virus to run?  I have
heard that there is a very old version of Visual Basic for DOS.  I don't
know if it is capable of running VBS, or Visual Basic Script.
