Have you ever wondered why email isn't common in the Mushroom Kingdom? Sure, we could say that the Toads are just stuck in the 80's, but the real reason might be this new virus that's going around, using their hero Mario as the culprit. A mass-mailing virus is going out that's attempting to lure users in by disguising itself as an innocent Mario game. When users launch the game though, they also launch a file containing a worm. Currently, Bowser isn't being questioned (but if he didn't do it, then who did?). Have there been other instances where Mario was used as the source for a computer virus? I can't think of any.

Hmm, seems we gotta start a virus page on the site....
