John, yes, I believe the Trojan ran on Windows. In fact, I just met my
kids schoolmaster, and turns out she was also a victim of that person -
already 3-4 years ago!!! Her daughter learned with his in the same
school, and apparently he got mad at them and started abusing them in
the most crazy ways - for instance, he intercepted family pictures sent
to them, and _disfigured_the_pictures!! She went to the police but I
guess was less lucky and they didn't find him, she changed computers,
dial-up connection, etc. etc...
As you say - movie stuff. Amir

an excellent tale [still unfolding]- no doubt coming to a bookstore or
movie theatre near you real soon.
of course, it was never mentioned in the article, but they *had* to be
running windows.
