Or one of the many other ZIP archival software packages.

my vote's for izarc (http://www.izarc.org)... i don't know any freeware
package that handles more formats...

could you please explain why your reposting produces such a wrong
linefeed with such wrong quoting-maekers? Please check it by yourself.

using OE perhaps is one explanation. But other OE-users produce not this
misbehavior because they configure their NewsClient (OE) well. Isn't it
a shame that the widest spread NewsClient shows (per default?) such a
misbehavior?

Sorry, meant (quoting) marker ">" ">>" etc.

Yes,they should have some type of instructions that a user has to read
before it even starts.

The quoting is still bad.
OE Quotefix is one solution.
http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/oe-quotefix/
Using XanaNews as your news client is another.

NightRunner je napisao/la:
Hey all,

I got NAILED bigtime yesterday whilst carousing on a site I should
have known better than to use MSIE on. I aquired MANY infections, but
have I think all but one contained now... I just noticed today that a
netstat -an command is showing a huge number of connections to various
IP addresses. Soooo I got myself a packet sniffer, and found out that
my machine is spamming like MAD through Outlook Express. I can't seem
to find the causative program, and none of my various Spyware/Adware
or AV programs are catching it, so this is where I REALLY need help.
The basic content of each email follows:

From: Mcnamara (this is randomly generated it seems)
To: (e-mail address removed) (also apparantly random)
Subject: Online

Message body --

Hey, epjvwek


Attached file:

epjvwek.gif

Contents of this file appears to be drug advertisements... It's
harmless enough, so I've attached it in the prayer that someone will
recognize it and know what it is and how to get rid of it from my
system. NERVE WRACKING.

I should also mention that winlogon.exe is consuming very high cpu
resources, like 80-90%, and it shows up on TDIMon as the program doing
all the accessing of those IP addresses.

Thanks for any help!!!

It is installed as winlogon extension.
check HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\GPExtensions keys.
Delete suspicious entries. If they keep showing up then use PsSuspend
(www.sysinternals.com) utility to suspend Winlogon process and then
delete keys and reboot. Don't kill it or windows will crash. If that
doesn't help, use DLLView (also from sysinternals) and check all DLL's
winlogon loaded. After identification use some of available SFC patches
to disable windows file protection and delete trojan dll.


I got infected with similar trojan few days ago and couldn't get rid of
him with any of AV.
Used Nod32, Sophos and AVG but none of them recognized it so I had to
do it manually.
