It would be shortsighted to be concerned only with U.S. laws. Computer viruses disseminated over the Internet could easily have foreign origins, distributions or targets. The recent Love Bug virus was investigated in the Philippines (where it is believed to have originated), according to the laws of that country. International agreements and international sanctions will be required to successfully address the dissemination of malicious software over the Internet.
