[QUOTE="KLank, post: 27618"] Well, reading through the initial link from Murlyn it did sound to me like they wrote the concept worm. Granted to damage the SYSTEM it would need to prompt for permission, but most users would blindly type thier passwords. But even if they didn't YOU have permissions to delete your files. So this could destroy your DATA which could be far more valuable then the time it would take to fix or rebuild your OS. Just food for thought. [/QUOTE]
