Whoa there, cowpoke! I'd give odds that the KCole didn't post the virus on
purpose. I checked the SARC's (Symantec Anti-virus Research Centre) virus
encyclopedia, this virus replicates itself through e-mail. They probably got
infected from another source, the virus checked his/her address book, and
sent itself to everyone on it.
I don't think it's fair to just instantly try to get them kicked off of
their ISP without doing a little background check. Has anyone mailed KCole
offlist and explained what happened? It's knee-jerk reactions like this that
cause more trouble than the solve.
