hi,
I dont know much about virii but I believe I got one through netscape.
I have had alot of problems on my win95 partion lately.  I get lots of
out of mem problems. For example I tried to open netscape and it was the
onlything I tried to open and I got an out of memory err.  So after alot
of this I ran Thunderbite and it said that dcoo5.com was infected bye an
unknown virus.  I was wondering if it is posible for java to run a
program that comes off a page w/o prompting user to run it.  Please help
me with this.
                              Thanks 
    				goat
