Well I have to say that its fairly typical of the way things are today the responses that have come in. The responses show that everyone naturally assumes that worst of the person they are speaking to. I have several replies in my inbox which were obvious intended for the list but the people concerned have simply clicked reply and not put the list in the to or cc fields. Let me clear up a few things. It is quite obvious that this is social engineering, I never said anything else. I never did have any intention of running this on a connected machine. As this appears to be a new thing (see registration date of domain concerned) I was merely wondering if anyone had seen it before and new more details about it. Someone mentioned that Norton picked it up as a trojan, I mentioned, probably not clearly enough though in the original message that it scanned clean. It still does. This is with the up-to-date version of McAfee that I have. I'll end with a little request. Try not to be so quick to assume that everyone is a gullible muppet. We all know that there are hordes of them around but there are people who have some sense and treating them like a muppet will only piss them off. -- O- cw, securityat_private on 21/06/2002 "Part man, part monkey.
