Hi Dave,
I was not using any web-based interface to read/reply to your message.
I was using Outlook Express' newsreader, under WIN XP Prof. SP2, to view the
newsgroup:
'microsoft.public.security.virus'.
I will say that I had not subscribed to the
'microsoft.public.security.homeusers' newsgroup before seeing your message
of 7 December, beginning
"Hi Peter
Intrigued by your resonse, I investigated further."
After that reply of yours to my message, I subscribed to the
'microsoft.public.security.homeusers' newsgroup. I immediately saw, in
that newsgroup, your earlier message dated 3 December, with the subject:
"What Internet users need to know".
This confirmed to me what you explained about your having posted that
message in the 'microsoft.public.security.homeusers' newsgroup.
Also, I have skimmed through the report to which you referred. I intend to
read it fully later, when time permits. It looks like it provides a good
'plain-English' explanation of various types of malware-infection processes.
Thanks for this reference!
Best Wishes,
Peter
