Well, there is "comp.virus", which is obviously more suitable - but requests for viruses are specifically NOT allowed there. >As the header says, I want some more viruses Oh, boy...you sure asked for trouble now... :-) I have a virus collection - a very large one - over 1700 different PC viruses. I get requests like this one regularly, and usually I refuse to send any viruses out. Asking for a written request, signed by the head of the company or the university department of the person in question is the first step. I almost never hear from anyone again after stating this condition. The second condition is a "need to have" - just being a collector is not sufficient. The third condition is a "OK" from the other members of CARO. Finally, I refuse to keep it confidential if I send viruses to anyone - if they don't want the rest of the world to know they are receiving viruses, they have no business getting them. Only if those conditions are met, will I consider sending out viruses, and in your case I will not. Sorry. -frisk
