I find it very interesting where it's putting some executables at.
C:\WINDOWS\Temporary Internet Files
I've Always HATED that directory. I've tried writing batch files and
0 byte files and many utilities to try to stop things from going into
that directory. It's like it's a message to microsoft. Saying get rid
of the mm256.dat mm2048.dat index.dat and all the other sneaky places
that that information is stored. What's more amazing is how even if
you delete those files and Don't have MSIE installed they are
recreated. Perhaps one day someone will show an exploit and force
microsoft to fix it. Seems like an exploit is the only way they will
listen. Anyway, I've been trying to sell people on The Bat! ever
since I first started using it. I just knew it was a winner. Turns
out I was right. I see a patch out already for SCAN.ZIP, but that's a
bandaid -IMO the underlying problem is with the VB scrips, and macro
scripts, eventually if they keep putting a bandaid on it, they will
just write an exploit that will totally nuke their system. The
"Sheeple" should have seen this since the Melisa macro. But, most
folks are just too busy to pay attention to security I guess, IMO were
all moving into the electronic age way too fast.
