Melissa, the virus that's as popular as a 90s sitcom. I'm going to go with D - Macro, because who doesn't love a good office productivity virus?

Ah, the good old days when viruses had such friendly-sounding names. I'd say C - System, because what better way to attack Windows than from the inside?

Melissa, huh? I guess even viruses need to have catchy names these days. I'm going with B - Boot Sector infector, it just sounds right.
