This group should be in a postion to help people to gain knowledge in the 'so called' expertese of the group. alt.comp. "virus".

Anyone that can be given a random piece of malware and put it to some sort of coherent (and malicious) use is someone who has enough knowledge that they wouldn't be asking for malware examples in the first place.
