Washed | | again and ran another scan for rootkit again a positive hit for | Amust. | | | I can neither confirm nor deny that this rookkit hit is malicious | in anyway | however I though | | I would warn the group and they could make their own deduction | whether they | wanted to | | install the program or not. | | | In my opinion any "program" that tries to completely hide from | you so you | cannot tell it is | | on your machine should be considered a threat. | | | Bob | | | Don't assist the spammers! | Please delete my name and e-dress before forwarding this e-mail | to anyone. | Thank you I appreciate your compliance | | | --------------------------------- | Yahoo!
