Hi, so far, I never caught any virus here at Renderosity, either by file-download, html-code, Java , etc.! And I couldnt find that specific QAZWSX-entry in my MRU-section (btw: I am using IE5 at the moment). I frankly admit, that I once also fell for a similar gotcha-hit in that MRU-section, when I was searching my Registry for some stuff repeatedly. :-) Although, one always should consider viruses as possibility! There never will be a general protection, but there are good precautions, even using common sense does help. Below is some fun about NEW M-Viruses (I received this little piece of fun yesterday and just translated it for you), which even Jacks powerful engine might not recognize correctly!! Hope, it can cheer you up, Jack! ;-) Hubert A guy with paranoia only assumes, that everybody is trying to get at him. I, for sure, know!! ************** Hello, this is a manual virus! Its developer neither had the skills nor time to program a real one. Please, just select 50 addresses from your own mail-address-book and then forward this virus! Afterwards, delete some arbitrary files in your System-folder. In case it is Friday 13.th., then format your harddrive! Thanks for your assistance! ===================================== SYSTEM HALTED! HIT ANY USER TO CONTINUE =====================================
