might want to check what you get lately from some subscribed newsgroups.

got a nasty bugger from a buddy at work. He subscribed for years now, and suddenly last few weeks almost everything is bogus / infected. Downloaded a simple app to mount an iso as a drive, next thing I spent the whole day restoring PC...


BTW acronis backup can save you life!!!  :D


just a heads up, used to be a fully reliable place, but bad things a-commin from the major newsgroups.



<EDIT> Oh and yes I know to never "trust" a source, but I am talking about a long trusted source for legitimate resources, not some fly-by-night deal. Just wanted to give a heads up.

Dunno about the newsgroups but if your looking for a decent Virtual Drive program, I'd suggest UltraISO, what I use and it works great.
