I was thinking the other day about SR4 stats for the virus that caused the Crash of '29, compared to modern (2070s) ice. Sure it was more advanced than everything else, but it was still 40 years ago.

In short, if a runner team found a drive storing a copy of the '29 virus, what would it's stats be?

I am guessing we can model it on a rating 2-3 agent with the appropriate software. I am figuring Agent rather than ice because it was free-roaming.
