The FAQ is usually more than a poster with a problem will want to read. I still am unsure of the distinction of virus, trojan, worm. I am sure that all three are malware, but I don't think alt.comp.malware would get much traffic. If the FAQ is posted once a month, or URLed mentioned, then it is fair to expect posters to know what's in the FAQ and refer people to it. I think there was a typo in one of Dave Lipman's responses: "Since it is a trojan, it does (? doesn't) self replicate and as such does not auto-spread. Trojans need assistance to be installed such as Social Engineer (human exploit) software vulnerabilities, web site compromise, etc." I apologize for suggesting a FAQ I'm not qualified to write. Plain usenetiquet to not multi-post, wouldn't go in a alt.comp.virus FAQ, so we would still get those. Regards
