DAZ stuff is most likely not the problem, you should always be sure of a statement before you broadcast like this. You could potentially hurt a business, who in no way is the problem. You have most likely got a virus that attaches itself to exe files. the nimda bug mentioned above is a nasty bug and tho it could be worse, it lives only to spread not to damage or delete. for those of you that think you are safe from it, it does NOT require you to open an attachment to get it! this bug runs by itself! It can be gotten from html pages (yeah just by browsing) and can also be gotten just by reading an email. It lives to breed, but other than just spreading all over, it does little damage. It affects earlier Internet explorer and Outlook express programs. Netscrap appears unphased. Definition of how it runs by itself is that thru a javascript call, the program is being treated as an object that normally automatically runs while browsing (like a wav file)..the MIME is being sidestepped and the browser automatically runs the exe. gotta love the simplicity of this one...and one should fully expect a dangerous payload on its next version. later BT
