Viruses on the International Space Station...

[Charles McElwain]

Apropos the recent discussion of Fake UIs and the problem of people 
most needing sensitivity to the dangers being most insensitive:

ISS laptops found to be infected with Gammima.AG virus; apparently 
not the first infection on the ISS.

What's worth noting about this story is that the laptops carried by 
astronauts into space *** DO NOT *** contain any anti-virus software.

"I was just following *NASA* 'best practices'..."
