Comment Vx definitions revisited - its a Trorm (Score 1) 263

The angry assertions by slashdot readers that this is "not a worm!" are a little unfair. A statement such as "well, its not really a worm" might be a little more appropriate. It's more of a trojan with worm-like properties. This is a brand new animal, I believe. Doesn't a trojan that replicates- even if the mechanism of replication happens to require human assistance- deserve a name of its own? A worming trojan? A trorm? No one would deny that it doesn't implement the replication thing the same as your historical worms, but there's not really a classification for this type of animal yet. It all seems very wormy to me.
