The point exactly....not too many decent coders at Microsoft, but if they were I can assure you that their are others that COULD find it....how do you think Apple sued them a while back for having Apple code in some of their stuff??? Somebody found it now didn't they...and it is obvious that the people finding these...count them two in the last few days, and they must be looling... > > Finally, this sort of thing is common.

Well then Joel, tell us all how one would accidentally program more than one backdoor into a computer (by accident) in an application like this. . This is really what is hard to believe that you could leave a gateway open to be able to view, execute, change data, totally take over a computer and see everything that is on it etc, etc all by accident..your the one it appears that needs to get real. Who says that they would reveal anything..and besides if someone were to be busted for pirated software or whatever do you think anyone is going to tell them how they found itt out....ummmmm, we are doing this because of an anoymous tip..etc, etc,,,, wake up and smell the coffee..will ya. I guess that you believe that after installing Win95 that no other internet browsers like AOL, and others, etc. would not work...Only Internet Explorer would work. So I guess you believe this was accidental as well??
