Max said: <kidding> Was it the evil, intrusive syn scan or the destructive OS fingerprinting that transferred mstask.exe from your computer to the machines in question? :):) Or did nmap confuse the Windows TCP/IP stack enough that the stack itself decided to copy another program over mstask.exe?!?! :) Ahah! </kidding> ------------------------------ ROTFLMAO The ISS Scanner once got blamed for causing a user's CD to wobble, which worked the cable loose, which cause motherboard hiccups. The user insisted that the scanner was "abusing her system". Ask him to set up a controlled repro, and make sure you bet him a 6 of good beer over whether it repros. >8-) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
