After taking a look at a few Win95 config files, I just realised how utterly
simple it would be for any trojan (or virus) to determine the correct dial
string depending on your country and then change your ISP dialup number to
another ISP in any country. All it requires is that the user has correctly
told
Win95 where he/she is living, and a few more standard details stored in files
or
the registry.
On the other hand, it'd be a lot easier to format the user's drive.
