<P> At that point, the NBI were unsure what felony or crime would apply . It was suggested they be charged with violating Republic Act 8484 (the Access Device Regulation Act), a law designed mainly to penalise credit card fraud, since both used pre-paid (if not stolen) Internet cards to purchase access to ISPs . Another idea was that they be charged with malicious mischief, a felony (under the Philippines Revised Penal Code of 1932) involving damage to property . The drawback here was that one of its elements, aside from damage to property, was intent to damage, and de Guzman had claimed during custodial investigations that he may have unwittingly released the worm . </P> <P> To show intent, the NBI investigated AMA Computer College, where de Guzman had dropped out at the very end of his final year . They found that, for his undergraduate thesis, de Guzman had proposed the implementation of a trojan to steal Internet login passwords . This way, he proposed, users would finally be able to afford an Internet connection . The proposal was rejected by the College of Computer Studies board, prompting de Guzman to cancel his studies the day before graduation . </P> <P> Since there were no laws in the Philippines against writing malware at the time, both Ramones and de Guzman were released with all charges dropped by state prosecutors . To address this legislative deficiency, the Philippine Congress enacted Republic Act No. 8792, otherwise known as the E-Commerce Law, in July 2000, just two months after the worm outbreak . In 2002, the ILOVEYOU virus obtained a world record for being the most virulent computer virus at the time . </P>
