Cool, thanks for the info. I realize after reading the description of the virus above is that M$ has a long battle on its hands, due to their policy of security through obscurity. Most of their users are clueless as to the kinds of changes made by that virus, whereas Linux users would be a little more aware of those kind of drastic changes when they are made, due to the security model. The $64K question is: is Linux safer from viruses than M$, or is a bunch of Linux using hackers writing anti-M$ viruses? The direction M$ seem to be moving in is to take away privacy from their users via software registration and PassPort, whereas open-source lets us keep our anonymity, or at least gives us the choice (RH network). Kinda ironic, ain't it? John Hebert __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo!
