Thanks, Bernie.... and a firewall wouldn't protect the visitor from an
infection?
My understanding is that infection can also occur from attachments and that AV
programs are just being developed to identify/protect users. I wonder where the
greatest risks lies - visits to web sites which have been designed/inadvertently
take advantage of the wmf vulnerability or by the transmission/exchange of
infected
attachments.
