Overview Two of the most innovative viruses have come out of the group 29A. Both of these viruses were created or co-authored by a programmer that goes simply by the name "Benny".

In a world where the "Virus in a can" approach has dominated the spotlight, these two viruses are a throw-back to the days of "old-school" viruses (e.g. Monkey, Stoned). These viruses aren't spread automatically by spamming your address book. They can't be created by downloading an application, clicking a few radio buttons, and pressing the generate button.
