Even if, the only way for sobig to leave the stub would be to execute on the target machine. If it is possible for a virus to infest or otherwise take action on a machine without executing, I am simply not aware of it. I would find the topic to be fascinating if someone has suppositions about how such a thing could occur. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
