Hi Greg,

That's not what I was saying. Sircam plants itself into temp and cache files in IE on an infected computer. Until the virus does enough damage to the infected computer to render it inoperative, it captures email addresses from those files and uses them.

I told you a month or two ago that you could get a virus just by visiting a webpage. While you didn't exactly scoff at the notion, you expressed a level of doubt. Nimda is one that has just recently been widely distributed. Ask Scott Hartman. ...better yet, ask anyone that visited his site that got infected without either of them knowing it. ...when they get back online.....
