well... again !

The blaster WORM is a virus using some SECURITY HOLE in WINDOWS all versions except WinME !
it provokes INSTABILITY and can at the right moments give full control over your machine to some hackers, yet again, this virus doesn't work against machine who has the RPC patched like microsoft has said it. and believe me, it does nothing if you are patched !

so again, a virus cannot autoexecute itself, ya gotta start it !
BAT files must be executed to be activated, same goes for VBS which are actually VISUAL BASIC files. they do not run by themselves. and PIF are SHORTCUTS made by windows to run programs at place by another place ! they do not run all by themselves !

so like i said...
don't start or accept anythings suspisous that you wouldn't take and believe me, you will not be infected by anything !

also, check for the size of the things, a virus is by definition a program... a program is in no case a valid musics or anything. musics, ascii chars and the likes cannot make a program.

if you got infected by a virus which was in a music file, then right int he beginning, it wasn't a music file at all !

if the ANTI-VIRUS checks each files like that, it is to find th evirus before you actually clicks it, because once you ran it it is already too late. so they got to warn you before you run the file !

and as far as i am concern, ANTI-VIRUS softwares are just too damn dumb to be any use !
example:
NORTON ANTI-VIRUS, at the maximum security level, it see's itself as a virus !

conclusion:
VIRUSes are a threat yeah, that i don't disagree with. but NO they aren't VIRUSes until they got started by the user in front of the computer !

you know, technicians around the globe have a code called for this...

its CODE19 which stands for 19 inches which is the basic distance between the user and the computer !

that means that the user is actually the one not taking care fo the machine in front of him. the machine never does anything by itself, it is always obeying the user who controls it !
