Subject: Viral infection via Serial Cable

Hi all

Thanks for the info.  I presumed there wasn't anything running around that
normally would 'see' a serial connection and keeping the machine off an
ordinary network system will protect it machine...

Need to look at the pc more to see if and what patches / sp etc have been
applied as well, if it is a vanilla system etc  Pity the machine runs 18
hours a day and they don't like taking it offline for the IT guy to have a
look see ;-)

Jean
