about this program :

ChessBase GmH Shredder 8 engine (jun1503).exe

 knowing that I keep upto-date on all my engines , I told him that can't be true
- there is no Shredder 8.  Well, he couldn't resist and within days he had lost
total control of his computer.  The program had a nasty little trojan horse:

backdoor.subseven

here's the description from Norton:

a very good reason to avoid peer-to-peer networks , it's like having sex with
the town's prostitute ...

forewarned is forearmed ...
