Reader s

I'm not sure that this meets Wikipedia's guidelines for notability. Its not clear that "Reader s" is an especially significant or newsworthy piece of malware. Quanticle (talk) 00:59, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Virut and rewrite. A bit of online research finds that Reader_s is a single filename used by the well-known Virut virus. There are plenty of sources showing that Virut is notable. [1] --HamburgerRadio (talk) 02:52, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No real coverage, nothing stands out to distinguish this bit of malware from thousands of others. noq (talk) 13:34, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No assertion that this virus ever did the damage it is claimed to be able to do, this is not even close toMelissa (computer worm). -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 14:19, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It looks like potentially Virut might have a chance at an article, as Hamburger Radio states. Even if this Reader_s was a pseudonym for Virut, the content in this article now is not a good start to an article on Virut. It is a mishmash of unsupported claims.

Delete - Virut seems to be notable but this isn't even the beginning of an article on that program. Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 17:13, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
