Most viruses are passed on by people who don't know they are infected. So if you got revenge, you would probably get the wrong person. Then there are those stupid "Virus Warnings" that everyone passes around. The warning it's self is the virus or a company's way to get you E-Mail address by people sending it to you. I hate those warnings. > I don't know if this is possible, but it sounds like a good project and >big $$$$ to the person who could accomplish the task and market it. I got a strange brain, but, think here. If I'm a virus detection company and there are no virus for me to detect, then I would create one so I could sale my product. Sounds possible. There are big $$$ in this stuff, if you are on the right side. But no one would ever believe that a company would make a product to infect computers so that they could sale me a product to find it, would they??? Kind of sounds like the FAA. "You've got a problem and we are here to help". But I'm only joking. The big problem is that most don't know they are passing on a virus. And some viruses can even send the messages out themselves, by looking up your address book. Never open an EXE file, even if you know the person sending it. Be careful with all other attachments. My virus program won't download a known virus, (but it must be a know virus). I did review Dick Chevalier's posting on the list and all where coupe/flying related. So, it may have not been an intentional post of a virus (unless some of you have ticked him off). Jack
