Kawaii Security – Over 30 Computer Virus Personified In Japanese Security Book

It is understandable to make your favorite web services drawn as characters, but how about internet viruses?

A Japanese publisher Sansai Books started selling a security book “Kawaii Security”, which enlightens you computer virus history since 1980′s, with over 30 infamous viruses anthropomorphized in cute anime-style characters. Which virus being personified in the book has not been disclosed yet, but I guess good-old pre-Windows Morris Worm, Code Red and Nimda should be in them, Japanese virus Yamada and Kintama as well.

Four anti-security applications are also personified under the authorization of the software vendors. It has 5 stories of original security comics and CD-ROM of anti-virus trial software Panda Internet Security 2011, too.
