Hi Fridrik,

I am always worried about viruses and my concern about the Anti-Virus companies is that they are reactive to the problem rather than being proactive. In other words they will try to find a cure after the virus hits and not before.

For instance I am worried that one day someone will come with a worm specific to the internet. Imagine what effect can have if one day million of internet users LOOSE their bookmark or their favourite file
for their Internet browser. They find out that it's being replaced with a new one that points to a page designed by the hacker.

This could have a significant effect on the Internet because of the volume involved.

Any comments anyone?

Regards,
KG
