I hate "virus warning" e-mails, because so many of them in the last have been a hoax. However, I recently discovered something on my PC that I wanted to share with my "friends" here on this list. I am on a dial up connection, so data traffic is fairly obvious. I started noticing a large amount of data transfer to and from my PC when there should have been none. So, I started looking for suspicious executable files and found the offender. It started in my C:\windows directory as a file called "system.exe". The file was dated 4/1/04 (April fools day). Here is some info on this nasty piece of spyware that was copying files from my machine. http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/trojtofgerb.html Larry Hendry
