You can always disassemble the virus, which is what people will do if it's a real "popular" one such as MyDoom. Then you know for sure what it's going to do. Viruses are very easy to understand because they're so small compared to the average windows program. _________________________________________________________________ What are the 5 hot job markets for 2004?
