Oh really... A cross platform virus?

[John Whitfield]

A cross platform virus?  Interesting.  I'd guess it's theoretically possible
if the executable portion is interpreted rather than binary; the code logic
needs that in order to fork into different paths to execute on different
operating systems.

But before I'd take it seriously, I'd have to see more information about the
virus and less about their anti-virus product.

JMHO,
John Whitfield

This reads as "pretty lame" but I was wondering what others know
about this reported cross platform virus....
