Hey Gord, that's nasty stuff.  I've often wondered how easy it would be for 
the virus lo-lives to put one on a cookie that gets placed on your HD as soon 
as you visit a site.  I guess it would have to be text, so easy to find.  But 
with PC World advising ppl to disable the cookie feature before browsing I'm 
getting tempted.
And off-topic, I'm getting alot more spam lately, several a day, used to be a 
few per week, and I see more ppl placing such things as REMOVE_ME in their 
e-addresses to throw off the auto spam bots that search the newsgroups for 
addresses.  Do humans seem to mind correcting these features before mailing 
ppl?
-Chris.
