Firewall question

[Habermann, David (DA)]

Correct!  The message sent to do this is pure text.  The "processing" is all controlled by the user manipulating the "Rules Wizard".  The "worm hole" used by the recent wave of virus attacks is "Windows Scripting Host".

Outlook 2000 is not the Worm hole.  Any Outlook (ie. Express, 97, 2000
whatever) set up to run a .vbs attachment is where the worm hole is.  What
Outlook 2000 does is a simple Filter on some portion of the email message
(subject, body, sender, whatever) which the user of that machine sets up to
trigger an application (which the user chooses) to run. This doesn't utilize
attachments or Visual Basic.
