Wormonger<\/strong>: \/woor monger<\/em>\/ Sally had inadvertantly loaded up the new wormonger virus by entering a contest online. So much for their viral security promises. Every time she tried to capture and elimiate it, it changed yet again. By the time the wormonger was done, Sally wondered how she could wriggle out of this one… Etymology:<\/em> Worm (a person who has a nasty or unethical character undeserving of respect; a software program capable of reproducing itself that can spread from one computer to the next over a network) & Monger (someone who purchases and maintains an inventory of goods to be sold) & WORDPLAY on Warmonger (a person who advocates war or warlike policies) Created by:<\/em> Nosila.<\/p>\n

Zigfrag<\/strong>: \/zigfr\u00c3\u00a6g<\/em>\/ Jim’s computer is infected with a virus. He never knows how it will show up as it zigfrags its way through the operating system. He’ll type a command, watch the spinner and see what happens this time. Yesterday it erased most of his family photos. Today it emailed a porn link to everybody in his address book. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings. Etymology:<\/em> zigzag (with frequent sharp turns from side to side) + frag (fragment) Created by:<\/em> artr2.<\/p>\n
