JIM mCcALLAM!

Thank you for a prompt responce.....so expunged from your sources we have:

ANY program can ask ANY OTHER program on MY MACHINE to do something for it WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE?" The sad truth is that, yes, this is true

On Windows 9x, if the author could plant a program that registers itself with the portmapper (rpcss.exe) and communicate with it remotely, it would have unlimited access to the machine. In other words, you'd have a full-blown Trojan horse on your hands

The answere we are missing is.....? Why does MAX want to do this? (profit)(espeonage)(tom-foolery)

Sincerely,
Gargoyle
