Hello, In a newsletter I received from Security Wire Digest on May 20, 2002
they have a link to a web site that when clicked attempts to download two
Trojan programs, which were blocked on my machine by McAfee software which I
have set to scan all download files.  I sent a notice back to Security Wire,
below, but have not received a response and I just clicked on the link again
and it is still trying to download the Trojans.  I just wanted to make
others aware of this problem and also to ask if anyone else had problems
with this organization.  I am ready to unsubscribe to this newsletter unless
I get a response from them.  Do not click on the link unless you have your
virus software set to scan all files that are downloaded.

Please note when I clicked on the link in your newsletter,
"http://sec.greymagic.com/adv/gm004-ie"; the web site attempted to download
two Trojan programs to my computer.  The files were identified by McAfee as
MIA2B4ff and MV8R26CG.  Both were listed a variants or JS/Espolint-LocalCSS.
I repeated this process twice with the same results.
