Number 220 - September 2001

UPDATE
WON and WOR - Advanced Features?     If you have recently acquired a new computer and have a home network, you may be interested in Mysterious Turn On or The Case of the Midnight Stalker, discussed later, where an unattended computer, which had been shut down, was turned on remotely overnight. Although no harm seems to have	occurred in this case, sometimes features intended as desirable may have unwanted consequences. What if the computer in question was exposed, unattended, to the Internet without a firewall or anti-virus software in place? The author had his 'sense of security' proven false! Another reason to turn off File & Print Sharing unless really necessary.
