      Hey Raz! This was posted last week (So that means I can point at you and go 'ha ha!'. What's your new job? And is it still hot and sandy over there? I think the reason the infection risk is low is because the virus affects IE5.5 but the VS.NET install will upgrade IE to 6.0 cheers, Chris Maunder

          Afterall, Windows is a virus... ;) I felt a disturbance in the force as if all of parksabers.com's 56 kilobits of uplink all screamed at once and then died out.

            The virus is in a help file. So risk is probably low just do to the low chance that the code will ever get executed. Tim Smith I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document? Well, to tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

                I once read an article that Windows infact not a virus. It had something to do with virii being very small and efficient.. ;) Sonorked as well: 100.13197 jorgen FreeBSD is sexy.
