site is www.isc.sans.org, Internet security centre, they post warnings abount all sorts of "nasties" that are doing the rounds.

Bern Oulli, I still have my copies of 6.22, and pretty much everything else that's followed it, and there are times when they come out for use in solving obscure hardware issues that can't be dealt with in later versions.

I just wish we could get a "cut down" version of Windoze that only does the basics, and not all the other garbage that Bill insists are good for our health. I do a lot of flight simulation related work, and the last thing I need is a visual system that's suddenly gone slow because Bill decides that the disc "MUST" be re indexed at that moment. or some such similar nonsense like trying to connect to the internet to check for this month's batch of patches, all of which have nothing to do with my application that I want to run at maximum speed to get the frame rate!!!
