- No references, old article and needs updating. Seems like an advert as well. Anarchyte (talk) 11:30, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose - this is an old type of Trojan horse that does not affect today's society. It did prior to 2005 or so, as it had affected XP's. The virus was discontinued on late 2004 and would have its viral issues solved by most antiviruses. Qwertyxp2000 (talk) 06:42, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose As above, it's not relevant nowadays, and therefore its improvement is less important than other articles. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:57, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
- Support Definitely can be improved, and has reasonable high page view stats, 1300 in 30 days. In reply to concerns mentioned above, no it is not relevant today, but neither are the historical articles we improve. --CSJJ104 (talk) 19:54, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
