Just lovely. Malware goes commercial.
This is just what the world needs. For a mere $990, you can buy your very own trojan to make the lives of others miserable! There's even a guarantee!

@$#%#%

Excerpt:
<...>

Engineers at Panda Software, while in the process of researching a new trojan, uncovered evidence this week that led them to a web site touting custom-built viruses for sale. For the low, low price of only US$990, a user gets his or her own pet trojan horse, complete with tech support. If the file is discovered—as this current model was—the designer provides a guarantee to alter it so that it may continue to avoid detection in the face of updated antivirus software.

Watch your credit card statements carefully, everyone. :banghead:

1. I'm convinced that the only punishment for those douche bags is...
castration without anesthesia...so that they may not reproduce another generation of assholes!

2. You're being too kind to them.
I say we lock them in a room and force them to listen to Bush speeches until they commit suicide in an effort to dull the pain.
