Anyone using icq200a is experiencing this problem.
I think that the development team of aol has some inherent hackers attached
as well as the mirabilis team, because icq has allways been inherintly
unsafe, and to date, nothing at all has been done about this.
The only thing to really do is ban icq from use in your environment, and use
some sort of WS scanning tool (I use Zenworks under Netware) to tell if it's
installed and if it is, to remove it automatically.
ICQ = cute software but Very bad news.
