According to article in the Atlanta paper this morning, 3.0 has a VERY serious
security
flaw. Was discovered by some student in college, and referred to Microsoft.
They confirmed it
and, according to papers, have their software people working on it non-stop
with highest
priority.
Article said to look for a new version as soon as it's ready. In view of the
fact this is
now public knowledge, I would suggest destruction of the present version,
before the hackers
tear us to pieces....This is a wide open hole for viruses, ect.
73,
