Tom, I read this on CNet's news site. Apparently some hackers broke into an open source site that provides a popular network monitoring tool. The hackers modified the source code to include some spyware features and then were able to post the code to the site so that visitors downloading this tool would unknowingly allow themselves to be spied upon.

I got a critical update notification today on my main computer and ran it (with virus scanner active :) It had me install MS's system scanner again and notified me that my critical update notifier needed updating which I did. No virus warnings this time, so maybe they have corrected the problem. At any rate, I'll never go there again without my virus scanner completely up-to-date and running. ;-) Cheers, Tom At 10:39 AM 11/15/2002 +0000, you wrote: >Tom and all, > >This might explain why I, too, have been struggling for days (with phone >hours to my advice line) to re-install and re-install and re-master!
