Linda etal! I do not know whether to laugh or cry about this Black Widow
V*rus Schlomo so naively wrote about. This particular topic is related to
malicious java applets that anyone who knows how to write in java can
do. It is absolutely nothing to do with Stacks Overflow which was so
eloquently researched and documented by Gerry Boyd.
Please everyone stop posting v*rus warnings or related matters to this
venue. Legitimate sources will notify you of an impending attack, like
your AntiV*rus software notification programs or IMHO the better source of
an independent newsletter well reputed to be on the cutting edge of technology.
You do more harm than good when you report fallacious statements to an
otherwise trusting audience.
Lastly, if you are going to surf the net or entertain the idea of learning
to be a computer professional at the very least you have to be vigilant
about malicious code running on your system. All should have at their
disposal a qualified AntiV*rus scanner and updated v*rus definitions and
possibly but not vital, a tr*jan scanner.
