I must agree with the earlier posting about the skepticism of the virus. Quite frankly, if this WDEF does have code in it that's installing resources into the Desktop then why are the virus detection programs (like GateKeeper) not able to catch it? Is it just because the WDEF isn't running as a program? If not, then why? Also, one thing that people who seem to be very knowledgable about this virus have said next to nothing about how it actually gets in, and why (again) this would make it more difficult to find than say nVIR... Any ideas? Bill Taroli WWTAROLI@RODAN.acs.syr.edu
