*shudders* The Model T of infections, all assembly line efficient and stuff.

A swarm infection now i wonder who put that together after all it seems a little complex for your average script kiddy judging by the interaction level it need to hit a Critical point before activating
some files are very slow movers while some others seems to be better assembled .. on the whole i would say a combined effort by a number of different people ...

(Obligatory Open Source joke) Hey, can anyone help me? I can't get those links to work in my Kopete IM client. I click them, but nothing hanppens.

Seriously, I have to wonder if some of this isn't sponsored by some governments as ways to allow framing political enemies. All it takes is something involving children and nudity found on your harddrive...

1a) IM client helpfully auto-renders the text URL as a clickable hyperlink, by default, with no ability to disable this impulse-control-problem-vulnerable "functionality", because whoever spec'd the program design didn't include a configuration checkbox for it: either because nobody thought of it, or because it was thought of but rejected. In short, it's a design flaw IMHO.

Users can't click on hyperlinks/dialogue boxes/etc. that are never presented to them.

I've often thought it would be awesome if everyone logged onto their IM one day and found all clickable links had been disabled by default. oh wow - imagine the complaints!
