Perhaps you would like to outline your methods? It's been a long time since I've disassembled code. Really, it would make excellent reading. I'm quite excited now. > What a bunch of idiots.

Look, I realise 6 doesn't follow 5 in your world, but the rest of us are simple beings. I too would have floundered, and simply warned others, who might click on the same post to beware. Now you have informed me I should go elsewhere, I will do so! Could you let me know where, and what the procedure is? Thanks. > What a bunch > of idiots posting smack about how smart they are and fall into such a > amateur trap. Good grief. This is er, priceless.

I don't want to learn on my own. This is a group hug kinda thing. I want to know what to do when I have put a file on jotti, and a dozen malware scanners have gone bonkers, and declared the file has a virus. How do I determine if it's a false positive? Clock's ticking... Other people in the group might download it... What do I do that's not magic? I know now how irresponsible it would be to post a warning here, and I'd just like to know what the responsible, non magical thingy you do is. What's the procedure? I mean if I file a report with the developer that might take time, so pretty please, tell us all what to do!! -- zakAT(a)pooh.the.cat - Sergeant Tech-Com, DN38416. Assigned to protect you.
