Tired of losing valuable information each time a new computer virus is unleashed upon an unsuspecting public? Of course you are, especially since being armed with even the latest antivirus software doesn't necessarily mean you're above being victimized.

Tim Mullen is one man who finally got fed up enough to do something about it. He developed a way to hack back at the criminals, and he'd love to share his program with everyone. There's only one problem: The US government says it's illegal.

Mullen's program traces the attack back to the computer from which it was launched and effectively paralyzes it, preventing any further spread of the virus. The government says this is hacking as well, and that two wrongs don't make a right, despite the fact that the program doesn't damage a computer in any way while halting an attack.

The majority of users victimized by a virus would likely take Mullen's side in the squabble, citing self-defense. Though it's easy to see their point, are they in the right? Tune in to the latest episode of "CyberCrime" to find out.
