Sounds like some sort of bizarre scam to me.

Looking at the .edu--He might be 'phishing' info regarding who knows
what?..
OFF SUBJECT-With MS putting off Vista 'till next year (rewriting
security issues)...I'd hope people have kept up on what features to turn
off in WindowsXP to halt malware intrusions. Biggest four of all are Raw
Sockets, File sharing, Messenger and UPnP.(That includes modems/routers
with UPnP..turn them off)



--Thanks-ED

UPnP? Damn. But it works so well with LimeWire (I build my own
spyware-free version from the Java source). Is my XP network going to
go kaput when I turn off UPnP and how do I fix it? Is there a better
newsgroup you could suggest for me to ask this? I'm such a tyro when it
comes to networking and security - I was thrilled when I finally got all
the XP computers in the house sharing files so I could back stuff up.
(One had allowanonymous=0 in the $#*&#$% registry!)
