sooooo.... Does that mean that,
if there's bacteria on the surface, the computer gets a virus?

That's been around for a few years now. It was originally some college student's thesis project. I wonder if they hired him, bought the rights or just stole the concept.

Bacteria cause bacterial infections and viruses cause viral infections. They're not the same.

It shares VERY similar software. I would imagine after the year it was released the guy would expand on it. I would say that Microsoft derived their concept from the one I posted. There are way too many similarities to say they created it all their own.
