Anyone require users to provide copies of CDs received in the mail to their security department for later evidence gathering? AV isn't going to be effective against most custom Trojan Horses. We're going to see more of this in the future- "Hey, I'm a Volvo dealer- I don't have anything important on-line" or "We're a hardware store, we couldn't possibly be a target!" Guess what? It doesn't take much to get those cross-hairs pointed at you, no matter what line of business you're in. Paul ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
