JB>Hallo Natalia,
Hi Jan!
JB> NO> You know of the NPAD virus???
JB>No, never heard of it. But in the light of the fact that it's VERY easy to
JB>write a virus-like macro in Word, I'm not amazed.
I didn't know about these macro-viruses until I met NPAD...
JB> NO> It roams all over my University, but no one knows what it does, ...
JB>How do they know it's there, if they don't know what it does ? :)
Cause I scan all the disks I bring home for viruses and there's always
that NPAD stuff all over the docs...
JB>CONCEPT does nothing but foul up your DOC/DOT management. You can only 
ave
JB>your text as DOT. It's annoying, but nothing more...
They tell me NPAD does that too...
JB> NO> ... and I'm not ready to try it out on my home PC...
JB>Now that I know how CONCEPT works, I don't have any problem contaminating 
my
JB>Word to do some tests. But with a virus you don't know, I don't blame you 
fo
JB>not investigating. Leave that to the pro's, they have machines to spare. 
e
JB>don't.
Yup!
JB>If you happen to have a friend with a contaminated system, check out the
JB>macro's, print them, and then you can study a virus in action.
Okay... I will ;)
JB>Since most macro-virusses change the NORMAL.DOT, could it be as simple as 
to
JB>render it read-only ? Once you are sure it doesn't need any changes...
Great idea!! :) I'll see about that!
Thanks and bye bye!
