I dont believe it makes much sence to suggest "lets have a virus only forum" when there arent seperate win poser and mac poser forums.

Evidently we are all in this together and if you are on a mac it seems logical to just pass up windows virus alert threads and allow members of the community to help each other thru a crisis.

Im surprised no one is posting that has looked at this from a sysadmin/security point of view.

fact: p2p users number in the MILLIONS

fact: p2p is full of people whose hobby is sharing files, who run cable-speed servers 24/7 to facilitate this hobby.

fact: If the wrong people use this exploited code and we end up with zombie masters with thousands, not hundreds of bots in fleet (or more) we are going to see an era of DDOS terrorism the likes of which the net has never experienced.

This is very serious and very real. We are talking the power to  possibly knock entire ISPs off the net, not just individual sites.

Slightly more serious than being pissed off at warez-kiddies sharing files, no?

Dodger yer a modeller, I cant do that. Youve released figures and contributed more to the poser community than ill ever be personally capable of, but I have to respectfully disagree with your post here. Extra OT's to swim thru are MORE than worth it in this situation.

Surf Safely everyone
