Hi Mr J,

No idea. ;) Then again, if we can discuss crime
issues, I suppose it is OK to discuss windows worms.

you see, this is what Smoothwall is for. I can't
believe people who know about viruses still go on the
Internet and don't use protection (huh! huh!). I don't
trust Anti-Virus software too much to protect me -
Smoothewall is free and runs on an old PC, which can
be picked up free or for pennies; there reallt is no
excuse for people now.

Funny stuff. Is there an Anti-Virus module for emacs I
wonder?
