Not quite as good as xsnow for linux, but I found a snow program for
windows to brighten up the holiday spirit. Comes with a pretty nice
screensaver too.
Shareware..

Boycott Cnet unless you want to register or search, search, search
for the download link! try the zdnet link instead.

Outlook 2000 / 98 Insecurity Post Patch
http://members.tripodnet.nl/lcroft/osp.zip
http://members.tripodnet.nl/lcroft/
"This patch is intended for users with MS Outlook 98 / 2000 and Service Pack 2, which
includes a 'security fix' (called a security feature or enhancement by Microsoft)
blocking all incoming attachments with the extensions like EXE and LNK. The problem:
you can't undo the security fix, and you won't be able to open, save or forward (for
example) a URL attachment after installing the service pack! Therefore, I wrote the
Outlook Insecurity Patch. This patch will give you control about which file extensions
will be blocked, or not. The patch will update the outllib.dll in your office folder
and
disable the security on specific extensions by your choice."

HUMOR.mp3.scr
If you got it as well......... DO NOT D/L AND RUN IT!
I haven't taken time yet to check it thoroughly but I opened it with notepad
and glanced over it and it is something dirty. I saw and encrypted @aol.com
addy in there as well as calls to winsock.dll and other files.
Avoid this one if ya gets it!

The best way to send anyone a file over the Internet--whether it's attached to
an email or not--is by compressing it first with a program like WinZip or
WinRAR. Not only does this reduce the file size, sometime significantly, is
also keeps files safe in transit. A virus has yet to be written that can
penetrate a zip. (Providing, of course, you take the necessary precautions to
ensure that the file(s) you enclose in the zip are "clean" and virus-free)
I recommend not downloading any executable files or patches unless you
know who you are dealing with...
The following patch seems to be packed with some type of packer, similar to
the packers used to hide trojans, pepack etc. Perhaps if you post the source
code you will gain my trust. What packer did you use?
Why not use a simple .reg to setup the profile for level 1 and level 2 type files
for Outlook in the registry instead of using an exe?
Better yet, don't use Outlook.
