    if you have a link to the virus website on your toolbar...no.

    Think of it like that episode of stargate where they dialed a black hole - the address is still in the computer, but they have to dial it to nearly destroy the world again.

    Thank god you understood the question and good analogy. My response was more along the lines of "huh? and wtf?" The only way that it COULD happen is if it was an rss feed.

    ...lol...Yeh, my "huh?" was used because I didn't really understand what you were asking.
