Here's Tom with the weather... Folks, let me remind you — Vmyths.com doesn't cover the news on Wall Street. We focus on computer virus hoaxes, computer virus myths, and computer virus hysteria. Vmyths.com also tries to improve your knowledge of lesser-known and/or controversial issues in the virus research field. Your antivirus software doesn't care who holds the title of CEO. It'll still detect viruses even if the stock price drops below, uh... wow! (That low, eh?) Enough said. [Credit where due: I stole the 'weather' punchline from the late comedian Bill Hicks.]
