 Virus writers take aim at .Net | Tech News on ZDNet
Known as W32.Donut, the virus does little but infect other.Net files, but it shows that the programmers who create such code are looking ahead, said Motoaki Yamamura, a virus researcher with security software company Symantec.
W32.Donut is a true virus, infecting files on the computer and spreading only when those files are moved to a new computer by e-mail or copying and then opened.
Though the virus spreads to.Net files, only a small fraction of it is written in MSIL, according to both Symantec and the author's description of the virus.

The Legacy Virus was one of those storylines that had potenial 616 universe, but just seemed to go nowhere.
Perhaps the Legacy Virsus could be adapted to UXM in a superior manner.
So these powerful individauls would be behind the creation of the Legacy Virus and then they would have their FOH minions spread the plague to mutants.

If the Legacy Virus appeared naturally, then that would fuel the anti-mutant groups, saying that mutants really are abominations since God has seen fit to destroy them.
I hate plot danglers and to have the Legacy virus just be the background all the time, with no conclusion is the same mistake the 616 universe made, it hardly touched upon plot point from 1993 to 2001 (that's 8 years) it was given a conclusion out of the blue.
Yeah, but if just have the Legacy virus hang around in the background, the storyline will eventually go nowhere and be mostly forgotten, like it was in the 616 universe.

 The queer world of the X-Men - Salon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Y ou missed the one very strong "gay metaphor" story line in the X-Men of late: the introduction of the Legacy virus, a virus that at first only killed mutants.
And then suddenly, this mutant-only virus can be caught by regular people as well, and it's all those damn mutants' fault.
The Legacy virus parallels' to the HIV/AIDS epidemic were uncomfortable to read to say the least, and by far the least subtle of the gay themes in the book.

The Legacy Virus was a once-interesting plot device that served as a parallel to the AIDS/HIV virus.
This was meant to parallel the spread of the AIDS/HIV virus into the general population, but her search for the virus cure waxed and waned as the plotline's prominence varied due to shifts in writers and storylines.
Again, if the virus cure was put off, lots more neat stories could be told that used it as a plot device (or, as the case may be, neater stories could be told that *didn't* use it as a plot device).

 Pyro-Rama!
However, after he contracted the Legacy Virus, his control was sometimes so erratic that he even accidentally started fires (which is strange, since he could not create fire until the very end of his life; perhaps he'd already had it burning on him, or inadvertently seized it from somewhere around him; neither idea is implausible).
One intriguing possibility, though, is that he was already affected by early symptoms of the Legacy Virus --- the Darkhawk/Sleepwalker story was the last one before he was he was diagnosed --- and its periodic effects on his mental state are well known.
Pyro had changed his philosophy about human-mutant relations to one advocating peace, whereas she had become so extreme as to attempt to eradicate all humans, using a modified version of the Legacy Virus (which was probably the source of at least some strain between them).

He has also suffered quite a bit through the last decade; the Legacy Virus managed to turn him into a walking plot device with very little characterization of his own, and it often seemed that he existed solely for the purpose of pushing the plot along.
Of course, we've known for a while that Legacy will be dealt with and probably cured in January 2001, so the timing of Pyro's death is ironic (and possibly intentional) and a bit difficult to take.
So far, only villains and extraneous characters have died from Legacy, even though the disease was created by a man intent on striking back at the X-Men, and the Summers family in particular.

 'Legacy viruses' lie in wait - ZDNet UK
While so-called "legacy viruses" are slowly dropping off, old malicious code is lying in wait to strike at current systems.
However it's a trend that is likely to shift as certain types of infection vectors, such as floppy disks, become obsolete.
Others are likely to burn themselves out because they’re too destructive or because the virus writer has written an expiry date into the virus’s code, he explained.

 Mischel Internet Security - Forum - Do these T-H log entries indicate a virus legacy?
I’m running Windows 98 and I was infected with some variant of the 'About: Blank' virus that was showing in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE directories etc., and which messed with my ‘Trusted Sites’ settings and dropped Trojans and spyware and homepage-redirections every time I opened an IE browser.
I manually removed all the dubious HijackThis entries and then had help on another forum to successfully disinfect the Spy.Briss.H virus (using the ‘a2’ malware scan) and all the symptoms of the hijack appear to have ceased.
TH is fully capable of detecting SubSeven and variants, so if a full scan comes up clean, you've nothing to worry about, although you might want to manually remove the flagged keys to get rid of the alerts.

His ability to re-channel kinetic energy was altered so that when he would re-channel absorbed kinetics, his body would convert the energy into a blast of plasma with corrosive side-effects, which was specifically made to counteract cellular regeneration, preventing his opponents with enhanced regenerative abilities from using those powers.
Nord did have the Legacy Virus, which eventually went into remission, and later when the vaccine was released by the X-Men's Colossus, the Legacy Virus was wiped out from the face of the Earth.
Yes, Nord's powers were boosted during his time of infection with the Legacy Virus, as his body was slowly burning itself out by pushing his powers to maximum potential, but when the disease went into remission, his body was left with the ability his powers were developed at.
