“Kerry” Computer Virus
Network administrators who first passed off the mysterious “Kerry” virus as a hoax are now saying that it does infect some machines, but apparently spreads slowly and becomes weaker over time. The virus attempts to attack machines with an algorithm that switches both components of a computer operating system’s binary code, “1’s” and “0’s,” in effect, fooling the internal logic by committing to both sides of the code. Computer security experts said there was no need to worry about the Kerry virus, as it is set to expire November 2, 2004. Some are even ignoring the threat altogether.

I’ve heard of it they named it after an evil wizard with botox who ran for president in ’04 his name was John Kerry. I refer to him as Darth Kerry, part of the left (dark) side of the force.
