I forgot one important thing: it is said to be the very first virus

This is something that upsets me about uninformed journalists,
especially Vietnamese journalists who seem to think that whatever they
write will be accepted by the masses. Yahoo meseenger has had numerous
virus problems. This is definitely not the first. I remember a virus
yhoo32.explr that spread through messenger. I am getting the article
translated and will take this unprofessionalism further with the
International Press Association.
