Nope...not even close. Hasn't been for awhile now. Those Russians....I'm good at cyber-security (started in the field in 1982)...but these guys are fuckin artists at virus design. Also I am getting old and sick of lookin at that shit. Now I just deliver pizza and freelance design shit for game companies
