Xiao, >>The problem is, this virus is in your email. User already logged on and had access to email server. The browser is logged on, but if it treated the email attachment as a separate object with no permissions then the attachment file would have no access to the email services that the browser has permissions to use. In essence a script/macro is already encapsulated by the interpretor which executes it. A well-written macro facility could provide very tight security if it desired to do so. Cheers, Norm
