mateo_sancarlos, Funny you should mention the "opener script" I have habitually turned off the autostart feature in every mac and pc since then. Wow how time flies, I didn't realize it's been 8 years! The autorun feature always seemed like a bad idea from the get go. Someone can make a cd image of a cd and then add in malicious code to execute when the cd is run. I don't think any amount of "patches" can fix that. Unless the cd does a checksum of itself every time its inserted. And even then that can be hacked. The best part of the Sony debacle is, and you can quote me: "Virus they're not just for hackers anymore!"
