If whoever rated that as level 2 (If that's something that says its a badass one) then he should learn programming. Seriously, its easy to do that; worms are easy to make, but if you realize most worms aren't harmful, seriously they aren't, they just keep copying themselves over the computer, but doesn't cause damage unless its someone who wrote it for bad intentions.

    So I am guessing I should get F-Secure since it found this virus so fast, eh?

    F-Secure was ranked #1 last year... not sure if they've finished off the tests for this year. I'd get F-Secure but I'm lazy =P
