I don't run a server, and I'm not responsible for the company's server, so I didn't look into Nimda. PC-Cillin caught Badtrans a couple of times, so I thought I was safe.

This would mean that I am safe, but then, I cannot any more blame people who do get infected. This has been very educational. -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste.
