There are several warning messages after that post. It is strange AW did not remove the message yet :(

BTW - since it is in HTML - proper newsreaders are not affected by it :)

Check the posting date, I doubt that you have set your
newsreader to download such old stuff.

dan look at the first post i gave all the details but as andras said it is
an old message almost 3 years and most good news readers wont pick it up. I
stumbled upon it while playing with some different news readers last night.

but while it may be relatively dead to most of the aw NG users it is still
very much alive on the server that the newsgroup is on, which actualy is a
bold statement that either ;


1. they dont run their antivirus program on this server (scary),

2. they dont have an antivirus set up to scan this hard drive (bizzare) or

3. they dont care if other fools without antivirus programs get a virus
because they have backups (geez)

(cough cough backdoor)
