I had my PFY hit all the workstations again this morning (because of MS.Jiggy) and rename wscript.exe on all of them. And cscript on the NT boxes. Viruses 0, Bob 1. --------------------------------- A stupid despot may constrain his slaves with iron chains; but a true politician binds them even more strongly by the chain of their own ideas;...despair and time eat away the bonds of iron and steel, but they are powerless against the habitual union of ideas, they can only tighten it still more; and on the soft fibres of the brain is founded the unshakable base of the soundest of Empires." Jacques Servan, 1767
