[Year 12 SofDev] SD 2011 Post Mortem - Section A is done

[Julian Tran]

Hi,

I don't like Question 15, as all of the answers, not just C, refer to
"infected files". From Wikipedia:

"A *computer worm* is a self-replicating malware computer program, which
uses a computer network to send copies of itself to other nodes (computers
on the network) and it may do so without any user intervention."

I think it is D, as there should be other ways for a worm to spread other
than email (and that requires a user). I am doubtful that Question 20 is B,
as that would require the user to have knowledge of where the country is.

Regards,
Julian
