    it's pretty simple here.. it is possible to send a virus over the net, 
ut
the problem is, in order to have it be run, the person has to manually run
it.. in my opinion any dork who would believe that it's a 'nifty program' and
run the 4k com file RIGHT AWAY is asking for it anyways, and deserves to have
his hard drive smoked..
