Not computer bugs unfortunately , but the alive ones that can become very irritating sometimes.
A Thai scientist studied the behaviour of some of the usual insects (mosquitos,cockroaches,etc) and created a computer programm for PCs (!) that uses the PC's speaker system to emmit ultrasounds that repel them !
The programm has 50.000 (1st version) and 20.000 (v.2) downloads so far.It's freeware and about 500Kb.
You can read an article HERE --> ARTICLE (http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/internet/07/31/thai.bugbuster/) , and you can download version 2.0 HERE (http://tecnologia.tiscali.it/Media/Software/vari/antimal20.zip)
