What if Malware Programmers Were Better At Their Work?
Sloppiness and disdain for good style are sometimes chic in
the underground of software, but heaven help us if they
really thought through how to write a good worm.
Because they can't operate out in the open, and partly
because the programmers may not care, malware programs often
make the system unusable. If they were written more
"professionally" they could be less obviously intrusive and
the result would be advantageous to them. Good thing they
don't seem to get the point.
Read the rest of Larry's column.
