Simply modifying your Outlook (98/2000/OE 5.0) Security setting to "Restricted Sites" shuts this down clean. The ActiveX control cannot be invoked and the user does not have an option to by-pass the security (and no files, .chm or .exe, are copied down). Microsoft's "Outlook Email Security Update" will do this automatically when its released and applied. Meanwhile, anyone who hasn't already realized their Outlook Security should be set to "Restricted Sites" deserves more than an oolala and a joke...;-] Cheers, Russ - NTBugtraq Editor "dot-age" (as in "we're in the dot-age") = senility (source Webster's)
