True. You can't deliver a virus by a nasty attachment if the attachment never reaches the user's machine. >> Google has viewers for all common file types > Really? How does it work? How do you see the file on Gooogle's server? It's rendered in the browser, by code on Google's end. > Maybe you have the ADOBE FLUSH virus installed and let the "author" > deliver you a new version every day to you holy "clean" machine? I do have the Adobe Flash player installed, but it's not involved in the transaction. The attachments in question are not SWF objects. (I have Adobe Flash under Linux, as well. There is an assortment of web content that _requires_ flash, notably sites concerned with art and design. And while HTML5 offers hope down the road, an awful lot of video is still handled by flash.). ______ Dennis https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
