      August, this is a quiet forum !               AA> ------------------------------------        AA> Contributary factors in the exploit:        AA> ------------------------------------        AA> 1. Data files are associated with specific applications by the file        AA> extension.        AA> 2. File extensions are hidden by default in Windows.        AA> 3. DLL files are hidden by default in Windows.               Not so as far as an exploit is concerned, only to the user. The machine knows       what the suffix is, whether you select it to be visible to you makes no       difference to the OS or an exploit. Methinks.              --- Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 (Windows/20090812)        * Origin: Fidonet Via Newsreader - http://www.easternstar.info (1:123/789)    |
