A worm that cannot attach itself to an exe. Ok then please explain the logic of inserting a worm when _everyone_ is going to know it came from you _specifically_.... There isn't any. There _are_ worms that embed themselves in the registry and attach to files. This has happened with .doc, .txt, and .nfo. What is to stop someone from commanding attachment to base.c? That is the nasty thing about viruses, trojans and worms. They are spread mostly by accident, and unknowningly. >Think about all those who must remove it or reinstall their systems. Think about what? If they are not using virus protection on their systems, then they _deserve_ it. They are using Windows.. you _have_ to use virus protection, and protection that is up to date no less. >There is no credit in taking a deliberately obtuse view. I am not taking an obtuse view.
