Viral Injector

This program was designed to run in Oldos. * It will still run on modern devices and will still provide the bonuses listed as "Effects", if any. * The "Tools" it provides were part of Oldos hacking and no longer do anything. * Crafting recipes involving it still exist but include components that are no longer available.

Description	It's been known for a while now that corporations have been using viruses for espionage, intercorporate warfare, and even advertising. This takes those technological advances and turns them back into a controlled weapon in the hands of an individual. It's sort of like taking OmniTech's newest material designs and making sweet knives out of them: regardless of how justified you may feel, they'll always be angry. Admittedly, most of that is probably just because you're not paying their absurd licensing rate.
