Actually: this virus won't allow you to delete a file that is less than
nine months old, but will cheerfully abort and erase any program that
attempts to delete such a file.  Every time you attempt to delete a file,
it broadcasts a message to every other site that is infected with the
Right to Life virus, which all respond by bombarding you with hate mail.

[Actually that's "hate IPCs"...  -psl]
