It's definitely Brain, the first boot sector virus.

I’m leaning towards I Love You, but that was a different type of virus, right? I really need to double-check my notes.

I keep mixing up the names. I know I saw a question like this before, but I can't recall if it was Brain or Tequila.

I feel like I studied this! Wasn't Melissa more about email? I think Brain is the right choice.

I think the answer might be Brain, but I'm not completely sure. I remember it was one of the earliest ones.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the different command options carefully.

I'm not sure about this one. Date fields being dynamically populated is a new concept for me, so I'll have to think through the pros and cons of each option carefully before deciding.
