Definatly agree about the RTF thing, or even HTML. One thing I would say,
the best way of infecting lots of computers with viruses is to put the
infection into a program, and put it on the internet calling it a free virus
checker.
Infact any free software is a good way of distributing it.
My computer dosent have a virus checker and hasnt had one for the 4 years I
have owned a computer. I would say that my computer is less likely to get a
virus than any normal home even buissness computer with virus checker. I
have boot off of floppy dissabled, I have made my one bootable CDROMs, and I
only down load software if I trust it.
The only viruses I have had have been in Word, and I knew in advance that
the file was infected, but the information was too important (the main NT
server at uni is infected). So word came up this file may have a macro
virus dissable all macros, I said yes disable them, it ignored me and ran
them anyway. So after replaceing normal.DOT etc from a backup I was fine.
