Thank god it wasn't a real virus, then. Fortunately You have now
disabled Java and ActiveX on your newsreader, or have stopped using a
web browser to read the newsgroups.

Think if You had learned all this the HARD way.  

And btw, that fake virus was nasty.

Well, Deja, Remaq and help.com have an excuse. Besides, they should
encode any <'s >'s and other html control characters, so that the
browsers would only display the source.
