I was after a specific example of a virus that affects TB!, as from the statement, it'd appear that you think there are viruses that are propagated via TB!, I'm not saying there are any, but I've not seen any. Of course, there are methods of getting viruses from websites, iframe and javascript for example, but none of those are specific to TB! I'd like to hear of an example that specifically affects TB! and doesn't require that you make some kind of user interaction, because if user interaction is required, then again, it's not specific to TB, but could be included in a floppy disk, CD, website, download, or whatever, at which point you'd have to run it anyway.

Of course, in most cases of infection (more specifically recently in the last year) those infected never know until somebody manages to track down the sender (see Klez), and let them know. - -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Fingerprint: 676A 1701 665B E343 E393 B8D2 2B83 E814 F8FD 1F73 iQA/AwUBPg6JKyuD6BT4/R9zEQJX3wCgkhd8tsPefOH0DG2YLURUxjXfoAQAoIGh 7Yrzl7fSpjMlRHFCHQf/YPPN =kDEY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
