It needs an attacking user's intervention in order to reach the affected computer. The means of transmission used include, among others, floppy disks, CD-ROMs, email messages with attached files, Internet downloads, FTP, IRC channels, peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks, etc." So, you have to execute the trojan somehow. Given that brain.exe (or alternatively, a fully updated virus scanner) is in use, I find these trojans a neglectible risk. -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de) NP: "Burning Bridges" by Crimson Glory (from the 1988 album "Transcendence") ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.80.06 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
