Hi zopistas,

sorry for being off topic and alarmist, but
since this is a server list where people often
might look at their log files and are curios.

There is a new virus spreading through iis servers.
If you see entires in your log-file, better refrain
from browsing to the originator if you're using 
internet explorer. It alters the site's start page 
to deliver a readme.eml file via javascript popup with
differing MIME-types.

It's entirely possible that IE in standard config
will execute that file and infect your workstation.

No idea about netscape.

Sorry for the disturbance,

oliver
