A Lightning bolt is a Virus fighting weapon, designed to send a massive power surge through a computer network. This is a device of last resort because it does irreparable damage to all electronic system wired into the network. The Lighting bolt is not always completely successful at destroying computer systems, as more sophisticated and technologically advanced computer systems and networks have surge suppression equipment designed to stop an accidental power surge from destroying the system. In addition, many Viruses knowing their vulnerability to accidental or deliberate power surges and EMP, update their systems to be more resistant to this kind of attack.
