In 2000 we saw W32/HLP infectors Dream and Pluma; in 2001 we saw W32/Linux infector Peelf, followed by Simile in 2002 and Bi in 2006. In 2003 and 2004 we saw W32/W64 infectors MSIL/Impanate and Chiton. Three new multi-platform scripting viruses were seen in 2005 (see VB, November 2005, p.4) â and of course, there was the Morris worm in 1988.
