NO and I think its various backdoors they likely need to have...
Could even be government induced.
I wonder why they donot take MS to court in a massive class-action...
I would imagine that as many people are personal victims, including
Juries, one cannot lose! Besides they have money, and just more or
less lost the other courtcase so where isnt there a cue of money
greedy USA lawyers ready to get rich on MS expenses??

It was an antivirus organisation on the Amiga.. I was involved with
it...
I received this thing about 8 hours ago or so, had a good look, (after
chopping off the vbs extension) but I guess that today will be a busy
day.
One good thing, with a virus name like this my expartner very likely
will push the button and he hasnt got a clue how to remove a virus
and he insists the outlook is THE emailer(g).
He never runs AV software as he says it slows the system down..
Reminds me, a second version called JOKE is floating around as well.
And while the websites got shut down there will be quite obviously
some busy days ahead of me.
Best regards,
tracer
