The server has everything to do with the script. If remote loading or
whatever it is is not enabled, it will _not_ work.

Why it wasn't included the first way through is beyond me. I mean come

Still, it's been my experience that Visa is accepted in more places than

Apparently you're trying to read a data cd like a music cd. Maybe.

I think "copying" files within windows copies like a link to the file
(on music CD's). Not sure about that though.

The statement that's implied would be "Agent1 not trolling" which would

Stop thinking every computer is connected to the internet. This one is
not, therefore it is virus proof.
Besides, you can only get a virus if you're running servers or opening
files you shouldn't. As far as I'm aware, there's no way to implant a
virus on a computer that has neither servers running and is not
accepting attachments from anything. I really see no reason why people
invest so much money in firewalls, your connection is going to get
scanned and probed all the time -- so... the only thing it's really
going to do is stop viruses and trojans from contacting out (if it were
designed too). The best thing to do to save money and trouble is
control your clicking.

You mean you've seen data that's being interpreted as virii? The

Well, in case you didn't notice, you do exactly as I do. You don't
provide the needed, complete information. You don't specify if it was
viral code itself or if it was interpreted as viral code by you (or your
virus scanner).
The _only_ way you know if it was so, is if you wrote it or the
manufacturer admitted it was designed to be viral. Which is it?
There's that "ASSume" problem again.

How do you know it was viral then? Did it propigate itself? Did it
