Hah. I have Codeweavers Office installed (Wine) and one of the apps I had is Internet Explorer 6 purely for those sites which refuse to work with Opera/Mozilla. My daughters used it occasionally and recently I discovered they had apparently visited a malicious site and a worm had worked its way into IE. Internet Explorer started to divert to a porn site all the time. Crossover's implementation of the Windows APIs is so good it makes my linux box vulnerable to Windows worms. I was even getting icons for porn sites appearing in my KDE Quickstart menu. The solution of course was to reinstall Crossover and this time I have not bothered to install IE6 at all. If a site does not work with Mozilla tough.. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
