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
