Inaccurate Data[edit]

Your data is inaccurate. Form could infect hard drives. It ran on startup from computers with infected hard drives. This is how it spread to floppies. I'll give you a few days to correct this. If it's not corrected I'll fix it myself. (Yes there are also other errors.) (Corrected a few - as mistake Form doesn't infect hard drives which it of course did spectacularly.)

One Must Wonder[edit]

I've been reading the history of this article. In particular I noted someone who made a change and wrote 'I have some experience with this virus. It does not encrypt its message.' Well of course it didn't encrypt it! But now I have to wonder: why would anyone write that it had? My only conclusion is that people are writing things here with an ambition they can't cash. What is Wikipedia - an encyclopaedia or a scribble board?

Plagiarism?[edit]

I note great sections of this article seem to have been taken from the (incorrect) F-Secure treatise on the subject. Whoever did this took out the sections he/she couldn't understand but otherwise left the text intact. As such I have to accuse the article of being plagiarism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.217.144.160 (talk) 06:04, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
