[QUOTE="rman, post: 27847, member: 23"] Even though you do not log in with a user id and pass word. There are still two users on your system. The first is the root user and the other is your default log in user id, which has admin rights. Most likely you don't have root enabled, so you are okay there. The problem lies, when an application askes you for your pass word to do some thing. That is the problem with this type of virus. Normally when you load software you are prompted for your admin pass word. So in most cases you are okay. [/QUOTE]
