A fella named Dr Solomon launched home anti-virus software. In an interview he said he regretted using the word virus because its a 'panic' word and hypes people up.

For what it's worth I ised to go to IT trade shows at the NEC back in the 90s. At one point Dr Solomon was there running his stand and I may have talked to him. Trouble was that in those days the internet was still dial-up and the computers I was dealing with were mostly dumb terminals that had no internet connection.
 
Just answered a call on my mobile from a mobile number. (I am expecting a call).
American voice claiming to be from HMRC about a letter they sent which had been returned.
As they don't have my number I cut off the call. Have reported it and blocked the number.

That’s the worse part when you are expecting a call you don’t want to miss it!
