I love a challenge.

LOL how come I dont have to do that? dunno.  but I do know that I'm glad I've not had an infected computer for as long as I remember having one.  probably because I was an ex-hacker hunter.  not really for business.  I just found the originator of viruses and took note, but not really any hard evidence to really do anything about it.  just down to the region.
