Well when I sent this example code, I didn't comment it out. So all of the virus scanners for people on this list sent me a 'virus found' message. What is interesting is that 99% of them gave me the email address, domain, name of anti-virus software, and sometimes even a path!
This could be a potential security problem. Someone could simply send a virus to this list, and use the resulting virus messages as a beginning discovery point of a network. I had never thought of this problem. I spend all that time making my servers as anonymous as possible, but I never thought about the anti-virus software. Needless to say, I am now :) Has anyone done anything like this with their antivirus? (I haven't done a google search yet! 285 emails an counting still!) -----Original Message----- From: Chris Santerre [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2002 3:31 PM To: 'Amer Karim'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: scary site I received the same thing on my Win98se / IE6. NAV said it was evil, but Calc did NOT come up. But my quick and dirty web code did still get by it. Only works on Win9x. Here is the code: *snip code* The path won't work on NT, but Norton said nothing about this. Also if anyone knows how to use reg32.dll to call functions, they may be able to call it here.
