- From how that article reads, and the fact that the also say
that "...The virus heavily compromised security of PCs and
laptops as it kept sending unsolicited email from the infected

confused.

I think he meant that the virus sent copies of e-mails, not the
antivirus, but who knows? It's a very confused article. :-)
