Well, gee, I didnt say none EVER existed! I said none exist. That
assumes you are using the lateste patched editions of the OS.
This is like me trying to claim that Microsoft is a lousy choice NOW
because at one time their software (O and OE) opened VBS files/scripts
and it was used as an attack vector for viruses.
Or that no one should use Frontpage because at one time if you did it
left open IIS server 'running' on your machine. Code Red and NIMDA
viruses took advantage of it
So far you have provide a 4 year old hoax. and a file that never worked.
