bun-fisher virus

 Vote for me and nobody gets infected.
  (+3, -7)
(+3, -7) 		  [vote for,
against]

A virus is disguised as a fairly lame vote-fishing Halfbakery idea about a virus (strictly, a trojan horse). The vote _against_ link has been rewired to trigger malicious code. The vote _for_ link removes the malicious code. Failure to click on either link causes the virus to lurk and wreak havoc later.
