So you flunked Bill Gates' "IQ test?"

Hi Mark- FYI, it's precisely *because of OS integration that you had the problem with the Love Bug worm to begin with. It's the 'built-in' stuff that's being exploited. Secondly, who's virus software are you proposing MS integrate? What virus software was able to catch the Love Bug at the time you received it? Virus software isn't some magic artificially intelligent agent that's able to sus out suspicious code. It's only able to find the viruses it's programmed to. Because of that, virus software would be about the last software that MS would want to integrate (to say nothing of product liability). Anyway, for you, 'integration' is the problem and not the solution. -JCJ
