(i couldn't pass up this quote from the below linked article. very informative trojan horse article, btw, but the quote just leaves me holding my sides in laughter) "Ira Winkler, president of Internet Security Advisors Group, said Trojan horses take a while to spread as crackers learn to use them and inept users install them on their systems." who are these crackers ira is referring to? <vbg> anyway, here's the link: "Is the Back Orifice Door Really Shut? Security experts doubt updating antivirus software is enough to stop this Trojan horse. by Ann Harrison, Deborah Radcliff and Kathleen Ohlson, Computerworld Online July 15, 1999, 7:37 a.m. PT" pcworld.com :) mark
