    That name's kinda edgy, perfect for a blog. You could use it for a site about the various types of anti-virus software, I suppose. But it would be dull. It's a name that suggests youthful rebelliousness. Maybe it would suit a forum or portal aimed at teenagers?

    I though about anti-virus site.but i am not into that field and don't want to give birth to yet another MFA site..

    Teen forum? I don't think moms want their kid to be on viruz.com;)

    That's a great branded name.

    I reckon you can do anything with it, just don't follow the masses/crowd.

    Create something different, something special, something you like the most.

    Like a porn site :D

    thats a great domain name. You can either go for some real unique idea for this domain to get its repute as a brand name or implement some disease related (computers or living things as u like coz both are infected by virus) site!

    That's exactly why it's a name that would appeal to teenagers.

    The fact that the original owner had a blog as well may actually benefit you. If possible, restore as much of the original content as possible from archive.org... but keep the pages in an "Archives" category of some sort. If they're indexed... they will generate traffic for you. I've got no problem at all using the past posts of the domain for my current blog... just explain they're from a past owner and may not reflect your views and opinions.

    Just a thought.

    Development Ideas

    [1] Make an antivirus related website, a website that reviews all the antiviruses, has a library of the latest viruses, RSS'ed directly from Antivirus websites, have a forum where people can discuss how viruses and spyware hit them and how they got rid of them, have people help out each other. Set up an online shop where people can purchase antivirus products as well as ebooks and guides containing information on how to deface spywares and antiviruses. You can earn some revenue from there. You can also publish a weekly virus cartoon script featuring the latest virus and the people combating it. Also, the site can feature all kinds of people that work for antivirus companies, their interviews, links to their blogs, about them etc. That would be cool

    [2] You can also start a health related website, where you can talk about all the viruses and their cures, latest pandemics, news related to them, their possible cures, report on those viruses, their brief history, where to and where from they spread etc. So that is another use for this name.

    [3] Obelia gave the idea of a youth forum, why not offer them a free blog service? also put in all sorts of stuff they can enjoy such as games, articles etc. Make the website look kind of dark, scary and metallic, offer downloads of legal music as well. Give download links to all sorts of appealing software such as Kazaa, Some kind of free music mixer etc. Have a forum also.

    Some detailed aspects, although the name can be used for anything else

    Take all appraisals with a pinch of salt, this domain is worth only what someone is willing to pay you for it. That said, it is only 5 letters, quite memorable and a dot com. You have a choice of 3 target markets, two of which might pay quite well with just a little traffic. Maybe you'll even get some typo traffic?

    It's definitely worth more than you paid for it. You just need to make enquiries in the right markets, if you don't want to develop it.
