Another thing that the press missed on this Winny based virus, was it’s name, the “Kintama virus” (translated… well let’s just say it’s a slang term with the similar conotations of “balls”).

It is said, that the origeonal version of this virus was made to take a screenshot of your desktop and collect porn from the users computer (of course there is no way for a virus to tell the difference between porn, and non-porn, so all jpgs and gifs, pngs were colected). This combined with the fact that the virus was mostly found in porn files, is said to be the reson for the name (the virus was motivated by the Male lower extremeties).

Later, as variations of the virus started to pop up, the virus was modified to collect personal document files, emails, etc… (cue lame Police men and military men). As a result, the “kintama” virus put on a completely new meaning, from “thinking with it’s balls” to “gotcha by YOUR balls”.

There is however, a group of people who feel that this virus has had some good come out of it.

“What? Some good from a virus?” you may say, but due to publication of personal files on the P2P network and web, several large scale scandals have figuratively “hit the fan”, reveiling misuse of governmental funds, and have resulted in several pubilc inquiries of corperate business prectices.

Hummm… I wonder what would happen, if any one of the **AAs, their henchment, or their lawers ever was infected by this Virus… Not that I am saying that someone should infect them… But I can’t help to wonder if their PC’s could talk, what horrible tales they might speak…

Just my two cents
