And Sub7
1 comments

Heh, written in Delphi I think.

My earliest PC consulting was cleaning up sub7 infections caused by antivirus packages deleting the main executable.

Sub7 associated the .exe format in windows with it's main executable, so if you removed the "infection" you had a really interesting time loading up windows afterwards, explorer.exe and all the others were looking for sub7.exe to load themselves =)
