Known programs[edit]

Is there to be so subcategory Malware:Known_Programs ?

Currenly in Malware category there are link to backdoor (which is a class of programs) and such programs like NetBus or Sub7 or BackOrifice - that are examples of that class of programs. Imho that mixing is not nice.

Add another entry[edit]

I found this annoying program.

Can you guys add another entry for WinAntivirus2006 and SystemDoctor?

Oh, and ErrorScan?

BitComet is not malware[edit]

Why is BitComet in this category? It does contain ads, so by the loosest definition of the word it is adware, but that does not make it malware. I'm removing it pending an explaination, which I will not listen to anyway. That will be all. 72.186.99.225 02:08, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What about a Category:Computer viruses used in cyberwarfare?[edit]

That category would contain all malware developed for or used in cyberwarfare (opposed to cybercrime).
