Spyrus
AfDs for this article: 
 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Portmanteau word/neologism with no evidence that it is in widespread use. The definition is a little vague, and it's certainly not a "new kind" of malware as described in the article. Google hits are not even in triple digits, and a lot of the results are irrelevant ("Spyrus" as a company/group/product name, etc). Contested prod, giving one source where the term is used, but this alone is not evidence of widespread usage. ~Matticus UC 00:12, 2 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Additional note - the first AfD is completely unrelated. ~Matticus UC 00:15, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
