There is the minute possibility that somebody has modified the virus.

I use "kill" and "destroy" both in the sense of destroy; i.e., erase, delete, and overwrite.

That could be said of the atom bomb, too, but when the time came it was used, it worked, and it probably saved countless lives. I don't intend to spend my time writing viri, but if my country is threatened and a virus is what it takes to alleviate the threat, you're going to see me crank out a virus so fast it makes your head spin!
