What for? If I do so with a browser, I'll presumably get redirected. But the virus wouldn't, because IT ISN'T A BROWSER AND DOESN'T SUPPORT HTTP REDIRECTS. Let's be clear on how redirects work. If someone requests default.ida from your machine, he gets back a response saying, "redirect to microsoft.com". A regular web browser will handle this by automatically issuing a request to microsoft.com, but that's only because browsers have error handling code that knows what an HTTP redirect is and what to do with it. The virus isn't a browser and doesn't support redirects, so setting one up is a complete waste of time that accomplishes nothing. Craig
