I personally don't think it is just a windows fault (but that contributes to the problem) but rather ignorance and stupidity, many scams require you to click, run or do something and some are more clever using windows holes. But if people can receive a fax entitled "fed up of receiving fax spam..... fax back to 09xxxxx" and are all ready to fax it back to a many quid a minute number that lasts for 500 seconds then what hope do we have stopping them from doing stupid stuff. If they had linux and were told to do a rm / -r --force cause it makes the system faster would they still do it? -- Robin Cornelius --------------------------------------------------- robin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx GPG Key ID: 0x729A79A23B7EE764 http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x729A79A23B7EE764
