Ahh. Yes, so it does not require elevated privs. But I still expected nothing should run at all without confirmation. You don't need elevated privs to delete all my files, or read my mail, or send mail on my behalf, or popup windows with porn in them... I'm not sure if you need elevation to log my keystrokes or otherwise capture my credit card info. Clearly, if bad guys can repeat what Google did, there is a lot to risk here. They would only need to get you to click one link, which looked legit at the time. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lopsa.org http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
