Yep! I get viruses in my email every once in a while - click on it just for fun to watch it crash and read the output in console (except one time WINE kicked in and kludge my .wine dir.... opps!). Even then it had no sys access and just stood there dumbfounded and useless - no root access, unlike anything windblows. URL's/websites will stall the browser. But a "killall -9" solves this problem along with a browser cache clearance. And this is rare (usually a poorly written site or an attempt to redirect/highjack a win32 protocol). Unless your running in root you have little to fear. Cheers, Curtis. -- Spammers Beware: Trespassers will be shot, survivors will be shot again! I don't want a politician I can believe in.
