Bah. Those choices are ill... I think that virus makers should be punished depending on the virus. if its a bit of harmless "fun", you know, to tease a friend, nothing very serious that goes away after a couple of days, then I think its fine... but a destructive virus... chain them up. Force them to work on firewalls and finding other hackers etc.

The definition of the word virus is something like this; an unwanted program or one that hasnt been authorised. etc etc..

I think it really depends on the virus, and its intend....
