Right when I heard it I said "bull". A virus for unix..i don't think so. But now that a few people have asked/talked to me about it, i'm trying to get to some answers about this. I'm told it can edit BIOS and several things which I know can't be done really, I hope. ;) Can someone please give me some input on this? If this did exist, its not like the user would have root, so how is it possible to infect a system? If it was, many systems would be in trouble right now..
