Currently the whitelisting solutions I'm aware of pretty much assume that all evil comes with an MZ-Header. I do regard whitelisting as a valid approach, but would hesitate to put all my money on just whitelisting and I would definitely not go public with such an announcement revealing details what soultion I chose. OTOH agreeing to a public announcement probably got them their solution for free, so there's budget left to continue using other technology in combination... cheers, Toralv Firmensitz: Muenchen Amtsgericht: AG Muenchen Handelsregister: HRB 144340 Geschaeftsfuehrer: Eric F.
