What's the name of the virus this site supposedly spreads? How is it downloaded? How is it activated? What sort of virus (other than a Microsoft macro) can infect a Mac as well as Windows? As for the PayPal warning site, there's nothing wrong with the HTML on that URL. I suspect that someone is trying to suppress the information on the paypal warning site by saying it gives your computer a virus. All of this, by the way, is off-topic for these newsgroups. -- Timberwoof <timberwoof at infernosoft dot com> Chief Perpetrator Infernosoft: Putting the No in Innovation. http://www.infernosoft.com "The opposite of hardware is not easyware."
