Re: New virus attacks AMD processors

Er, "chip level assembly code"? What, exactly is that? I wonder if they realize that MS Word also executes "chip level assembly code"..

Basically, until I hear someone respectable telling me this works, and is only effective on AMD processors, I call BS.

Me, too. Assembly language is just programming language. Maybe the AMD chips have a few unique-to-them commands for register transfers and stuff, but if they did, it's no big deal. I smell FUD.
