I deleted the reply with the explanation and fix. I was talking to a guy the other day who claimed to have a friend working with the NSA's Eschelon project. He told me they can get through just about any version of Windows and virtually take over the system... log keystrokes for encryption passwords and send them home etc. ect. etc. He said some access can be had via port 80 which evidently is always open to access the net... though this seems questionable. He also said that by adding code to an altered date field in email sent to someone, the code will be excuted upon receipt, and the receiving system's security compromised. Sounds like something Micro$oft's Outlook Distress would be susceptable to... but I don't really have a clue about all this :-) ... though it would seem that Linux would be a much more secure OS.
