Off hand it sounds a great deal like someone has tried to print a Windows executable (.exe). If you look at them in a hex mode you'll see they have a bit of text in them saying they can't run in DOS mode (trying running a Windows app in a DOS shell and it'll print the message out for you, if you're curious.) As to whether virii are doing this or some just some.... um, clueless employee somewhere is another issue. You *might* be able to tell what the name of the .exe being printed is from the output, btw. --min ______________________________________________________________________ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
