I don't think it is really game-breaking though... although I don't like to hear that my marked virii are being counted here...

marked are not counted.

Ok so I have been working with this, I have a moderate amount of virii out there (around 50) so I admit happily that I am a bit small for this to be a major issue but I do have a couple of suggestions which would help players work with this better:

1) Would it be possible to have a counter which told you how much cash you could expect to collect if you collected all your virii? Of course this would be an approximation as some profits might have been nabbed by spyware or something but it would be really useful to know because sometimes I simply need enough cash, say for a hardware upgrade, to complete a research or for an emergency IP change. At times like that if I fall short it does get a bit frustrating having to wait longer than needed to get the cash in. (i.e. having to wait maybe 18 minutes when it only takes 6 minutes to generate the cash). At my level not a huge issue but I do see how it could become one.

2) Would it be possible to have an option to collect "adware" and to collect "file share" separately please? I am aware that the exact details of the situation would vary from player to player, but having this distinction would allow you the ability to rapidly distinguish between two sources of income if you needed a bit of cash quickly. The "ideal" option would be to allow players to define virii collection groups, though I am aware this can be cumbersome to implement/use.

Oh a final thing as this is really a suggestion should it stay here (as it is related to this topic) or be put in the suggestions board?

Not counted, but if it's still marked when you "collect" the virii (only the marked one), it count and don't give you any HPD.
