Yes, but that is another issue. The virus writers are lzay at the moment. They just wait for the next MS security fix and finds out what it fixes. Much easier than looking for new security problems, and just as effective due to too many unpatched computers. The amazing thing about MS Windows is that it seems that every security issue results in exploits that totaly opens up the system. I have never seen the same "openness" in other operating systems. MS Windows security is like a house of cards, a small disturbance and everything comes falling down. -- G–ran Larsson http://www.nospam.com/saab/
