LOL, yes you are right. But on the flipside, how are we going to accomplish
anything in this thread if nobody changes their mind anyway and continue to
argue their same points?
Let's just look at it this way, the basic level. Spam is just email that is
used in a way to do some kind of damage mostly to Availability. Viruses are
just executables that can be used in a way to do some kind of damage mostly
to Integrity. Spyware are just executables that can be used in a way to do
some kind of damage mostly to Confidentiality.
We'll call that the "Stuff That Does Some Kind of Damage Mostly to One of
the 3 Pillars of Security" (tm).
