Virus Quotations | Page 4

They don't need to go to all that extra effort to write a virus for Macs. There are plenty of unprotected Windows computers out there.

They don't fly to an area. They are established, so we know they caught the virus in this area.

This means addressing the transmission of the virus where the disease occurs, in poultry, specifically free-range chickens and wetland dwelling ducks, and thus curbing the disease occurrence in the region before it spreads to other parts of the world.

There were 284 deaths from West Nile virus last year, (but) 30,000 deaths from pneumonia and influenza, and those are diseases that we can immunize against, ... So this is still a quite rare condition and not something that people should be overly concerned about.

There were several possible explanations: Either people had hidden them, killed them, eaten them or sold them off. The key to containing the virus is stopping movement of flocks, but traders may take advantage and offer people a low price to be rid of their birds.

There might be no attack at all. As everybody knows about the attack, the virus writer may lay low and attack at a later date. The ISPs involved can actively block malicious postings. It's more likely the attacker will lay low or be blocked, rather than succeed.

This is a virus that isn't acting in a predictable way. It's unusual that cats would be infected at all. The range of hosts here is unusual for an avian virus.

This is a virus that has never been seen in humans before. This is consistent with previous epidemiologic and genetic research that has suggested that prostate cancer may result from chronic inflammation, perhaps as a response to infection.

This is a very sophisticated virus written by a knowledgeable person familiar with business processes, ... It's the first NT-hosted virus we've seen, and the virus uses the network to spread into the NT programs.

They're gaining increased interest from the virus (writing) community. And as these devices become more pervasive, they become a bigger target.

There is too much H5N1 virus in very close contact with humans in this region. We need, in a painstaking and careful way, to reduce the opportunities for this virus to be jumping across into the human population. That will in turn reduce the likelihood of a major pandemic.

As more outbreaks occur among poultry and animals around the world, and as more human cases occur, the virus has more chances to transmit more effectively from animals to humans, or possibly among humans as well.

Above all it is an animal disease and if one wants to avoid there being any human cases, the virus must really be stamped out in the bird population.

The mosquitoes become infected, and you can create a reservoir of West Nile virus in that local region, ... That's why it makes absolute sense to target that area, even if the bird came from a far northerly section, as it probably did.

The more widespread it becomes, the greater the possibility that the (bird flu) virus could become altered and become more of a threat to the human population.

It seems to be a localized virus going around in the Philippines. As far as we know if has not affected a lot of U.S. users.

It's a technical achievement within the virus writing community, in this case the ability to infect both Windows and Linux executable files.

It was a whole business model centered around selling this type of software to criminals. The malicious software was created and sold to criminal organizations so they can steal data. It's a lot different from the old days of the virus writer wars of who can gain the most notoriety.

It's a virus that's easily transmitted from person to person through aerosolized droplets from saliva and other body fluids, ... It is unlike anthrax in that it can be transmitted from person to person and not just a danger by a direct contact.

It's bad enough to get a virus like Sober that turns your PC into a zombie, but at least with that you can disinfect it.

It's a wild card. If it works, great, but I don't think there's a tremendous amount of visibility right now. It's been a long time in the making at Merck and there have been disappointments along the way. The HIV virus is crafty, and there are many different strains.

It's about proving the virus community can't be stopped by anti-virus companies.

It means that there is a question mark that hangs over the progress of the virus in China. It's perhaps more significant to get animal viruses, because this virus is still something that is primarily in the animal sector.

It's a property of this virus that it can go into these animals. One just has to watch and see what happens because the virus has the property to evolve.

It's a property of this virus that it can go into these animals.

It's a little concerning because the virus is still trying new things in its evolution.

It is with great sadness that I have to leave the cast of 'High Society' as I am suffering from Epstein Barr Virus (Glandular Fever) which I first fell ill with last year,

It's trivial for anybody to understand how it works, ... To modify the virus is relatively easy, and to change what the e-mail says is trivial.

Forewarned is forearmed' is probably the most effective virus combat technique, and in this case the lead time was so short that many, many companies have been caught unarmed,

For example, the influenza virus is grown either in a chicken embryo or a cell culture grown in situ. After the bacteria or virus has grown, the next step is to purify it by physical separation, for example, by filtration, which can be either a chemical or biological process.

The number of human cases is on the rise ... and the virus continues to remain very changeable.

It's routine for a virus to cross hemispheres from Russia to Canada via the Arctic.

The North American West Nile virus epidemic persists.

The bird flu virus has arrived in Italy.

Not surprisingly, 85 per cent said spam and virus protection had been their number one concern in 2005.

That is the danger with influenza compared to any other virus I know that it can suddenly transform itself, reinvent itself and spread around the world.

Strong surveillance and response networks for early detection of pandemic virus will make a difference.

Supporting American technology companies is one of the most patriotic things you can do - the technology industry is the reason our country has such a high-standard of living and why we can afford to spread the democracy virus around the globe.

It's important to clarify that the avian influenza virus is not new to wild birds,

It's certain that the virus has reached Italy.

It's clear that the virus is well-established in the region.

It's called a neutralization test, and it generally reflects the presence of antibodies that can attach to the bird-flu virus and immobilize it.

It's amazing we can have an outbreak in one place, then some five years later, have the virus show up again -- but with virtually the same kind of genetic sequence as the first virus,

It simply is telling us that the virus may be changing the way it interacts with humans. It does not tell us that the risk of a mutation that causes the pandemic is increasing or decreasing.

It's important to remember that as older threats are vanquished, others will undoubtedly take their place. Mass-mailing worms may be in decline, but it's highly unlikely that they will disappear entirely - the introduction of a major new operating system may even spark a new wave of threats, as virus writers try to find holes in the product.

It was not unexpected. There will be sporadic human cases as long as the virus is circulating in animals.

It was not unexpected, ... There will be sporadic human cases as long as the virus is circulating in animals.

I've had some kind of stomach virus for the last few days. It just got worse and worse.

No local outbreaks reported and very few reports of infections. Most companies are seeing the virus at the gateway but not in large numbers ? typically a few hundred viruses are blocked.

It's very easy to blame bird migration, because then no one's responsible. Migrating birds may introduce the virus into an area, but it is human activity that spreads it.

I try to stay away from the politics of AIDS. But the people have to know that HIV does lead to the AIDS virus and education will make a huge difference.

It takes a little over a month for us to develop a recombinant vector vaccine compared to a minimum of several months via traditional methods. This capacity will be particularly invaluable if the virus begins to mutate rapidly, a phenomenon that often limits the ability of traditional vaccines to contain outbreaks of mutant strains.

It worries us, because it is a virus that would theoretically better bind to human cells.

The warning is clearly nonsense and no such virus exists. However, hoaxes and chain letters like this are not harmless - they waste time and bandwidth, and can be a genuine headache for support departments. Users need to think ask themselves whether everything they are told can be believed.

They will examine the situation country-by-country, analyze the way t hat the virus has been spread and advise coordinated measures for detection and control.

Once it amplifies in poultry then you have ample opportunity for continued interaction with human populations. The maintenance and perpetuation of this virus is really through poultry.

It's really an homage to back in the day, when I'd sit in the basement with my buddies when we were 10 and call and request a song - and they'd play it! That -- doesn't happen any more. If I could redo the song, it would change a little bit, because it's not completely finished. But the idea's right - one of our goals is to get into this system like a virus and then open the doors for other bands like us. Our intentions are good.

It's really a client check. It's a scheduled component that checks frequently for new virus threats.

Small business owners know that their most critical asset is their information, yet it is stored on computers that can crash and are susceptible to viruses, power outages and theft. Backup systems won't protect data if a virus causes a network/computer crash before the data is backed up at the end of the day. This is why continuous protection is important.

That's an exceptional number for a virus in a 24-hour period. Things quieted down a little bit after a tremendous outbreak last week, but now this thing has gone back to pegging the needle.

The key thing is that everyone who is suspected of having the virus is in the hospital now, and the hospital's infection control is improving. There is no spread in the hospital as far as we know.

The message is loud and clear. West Nile virus has arrived in Toronto and it's important to take precautions.

The FAO believes that eliminating avian influenza among poultry can delay H5N1 virus turning into a form that would create a human pandemic.

The core of the problem is the circulation of H5N1 virus is domestic poultry; priority action for solving the problem is therefore at the level of the animal,

Initially, wild birds are primarily victims. Someday they may become vectors. We don't know how that will play out. What I would like to see is the virus stopped before it gets to America so we don't see the last reel of this film played out in North America.

I have unfortunately suffered from a stomach virus for the past three weeks which has hampered my final preparation to the extent I don't believe I would be able to compete much above 60 percent of my ability in Madrid.

If necessary, even before a pandemic, we'll start making fresh vaccine strains. We will be following it along, and hopefully be keeping up with it. If, when a pandemic strikes and it is H5, we'll pounce on that virus immediately.

I'm tired of this back-slapping "Isn't humanity neat?" bullshit. We're a virus with shoes, okay? That's all we are.

I'm not sure we've seen a cluster like this in terms of numbers and certainly it's a concern. Is the virus being transmitted more easily from birds to humans, or even from humans to humans? We need to put all the pieces together before we can come to conclusions.

If the virus has been around for so long, there may have been dozens, hundreds or thousands of exposures to humans and nothing has happened so far when it comes to genetic recombination. That's good news, absolutely,

If the virus does arrive in the U.S., we think we'll find it quickly. We don't think that it would ever make it into the food chain.

If you have a virus on the system that's generating results, you have to shut down the servers. You have to shut down the competition, and the international federation is going to be really upset.

If you're a virus writer, there's no glory in attacking Linux on the desktop.

In the world of birds, ruffled feathers is one sign of a virus. Isnt that also the case at work or home? Infected birds shed the virus by exhaling and excreting. Humans do it through gossip and anger. Both are contagious. Dont be a carrier!

In the winter, the virus can survive longer outside its own host ... so we expect more cases, especially in this part of the world.

Intel and Microsoft SMS will mean relief for those who manage computer networks who have struggled to effectively control virus outbreaks, audit networked PCs or handle computer problems without affecting users' productivity.

Install virus protection software. The second thing you have to do is keep it up to date. Have your virus definitions updated daily.

In spite of this geographical expansion and diversity in the nature of the virus, when it comes to the risk of transmission, we don't have any hard evidence to indicate that the virus has become more infectious.

In this cluster of three confirmed cases of West Nile virus infection, with the possibility that there'll be a fourth, there's clear evidence that organ transplantation appears to be the source,

I have the AIDS virus myself, that's why I'm trying to educate my brothers and sisters.

I hesitate to go out on a limb on a virus like this. I don't know if there will be damage on Friday.

I have praise for the European countries because they have they have implemented their surveillance and identified the virus in migratory birds. This shows us the surveillance is working.

I have to say that on the evidence we have it's most likely that the avian flu virus H5N1 is already endemic in this region.

I have to tell you that, sadly, this affectionate greeting contains a virus which has immobilized the House's internal communication system.

In wintertime, we really are concerned because the risk is higher. The more the environment is ideal for the virus the more outbreaks we are expecting.

In these countries, the risk of a pandemic virus emerging is much higher than it is in Western Europe.

In the past, we have seen more cases reported to us in September, and that's why it's important to tell people that the risk for West Nile virus is still here.

In terms of how did the donor acquire this West Nile virus infection, the two possibilities are a mosquito bite before the time that the person was injured in the automobile accident, or received a blood product immediately after being injured, ... I think we have to aggressively pursue the possibility that a blood product is responsible for this.

In my opinion, the virus is probably mutating in a manner favorable to humans.

It has no disease control system. This virus can infect not only birds, but other animals too,

It has been known from Asia for some time that cats can infect themselves with the virus if they eat infected birds.

It has been known for awhile from Asia that cats can become infected with the virus when they are eating infected birds.

I just know he had a stomach virus or flu symptoms last week and sometimes those things stick with you. And when you try to work through them and play at the level that he expects to play at, sometimes you don't let yourself get back (to being) completely healthy.

Clearly the complainants who have been infected with the HIV virus have had a serious and devastating toll taken on their lives.

Clearly, we're not seeing widespread classical influenza infections with this virus or we would have picked it up by now. I think the case fatality rate probably is pretty significant given the data that we have.

By unmasking the 1918 virus we are revealing some of the secrets that will help us predict and prepare for the next pandemic.

By the time we leave here, we must all have a clear understanding of what needs to be done to enable us to contain a virus with pandemic potential.

But with so many new sites per day over (in Britain), which means on our doorstep, the risk remains great: wind, thousands of tourists or trucks which cross the Channel every day can carry the virus to us.

Because of all the barriers, it just seems like virus writers won't bother unless they see Macs as some kind of new frontier. Even then, few won't want to put in that kind of time and effort.

Chen made thousands of dollars by sending invasive messages intended to mislead consumers into believing their computers were infected with a dangerous virus and that Secure Computer's software was the fix. Nothing could be further from the truth.
