Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] eGroups/ worms/ virus

Hi Bill,

This is not true, I know an ex-hacker that can write a worm that arrives
with the mail but is invisible, not an attachment. This is the difference
between a virus and a worm. It is also only detectable after it has invaded
your system, luckily there is not many people around with this level of
expertise. Microsoft can interrogate your computer via a back door that is
programmed into Windows, told you he wants to rule the world.

Regards,

Terry
