"But your first line of defence is not to rely on any anti-virus program but use caution yourself. Don't open any attachments in e-mails unless you're sure what they are. " This is very much what I would advocate, these days, one cannot afford to risk compromising a system with a virus if it can be helped virus cleanup is not a 100 percent guaruntee with any anti-virus.

Each of the terms you query will have a link to them. The interesting thing in that article was the statement about how easy they are to produce. But your first line of defence is not to rely on any anti-virus program but use caution yourself. Don't open any attachments in e-mails unless you're sure what they are. Don't go poking around with programs you don't know, (eg your queries about Silverlight - if it had been me, I'd have automatically assumed that THAT was a virus. Kasparsky, AVG or whatever can only stop known viruses, so they can never be 100% safe. By the way, my isp notifies me of any infected mail sent my way - yours probably stops them too, but may not tell you - and I get several such notifications a week. -----Original Message----- From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dorothy Ingram-Gorban Sent: 09 June 2008 22:45 To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: What is a Trojan Hi again Tiddy some of it I understood,but what is a Kernel? I have heard that word before in connection with Jaws,someone complained about a kernel 32, also it mentions the Trojan gets your Ip number, I think Belark advisor gathers a lot of detail and the Ip number is one, not sure what it means by getting at back door, is it that all the time we are on line we are open to Infiltration? A lot of the abbreviations I do not understand,but some fellow seems to identified it a long time ago. It can be a worm,one engineer said not. I think I will read it again tomorrow, but it is a kind of Code, remember that Code writer?
