Hello TechB - nice to see you here! :-)

I think you already know the danger of '.bat' files to us mere mortals.
My real, 'in-the-flesh', ex 'script kiddie' hacker turned PC consultant has
told
me so face-to-face. I'd rather trust him than you, I'm afraid.

Trolling over here now David? Are you going to warn us all about the
dangers of .bat files? There are a lot of them available for download from
many MVP's sites, along with .cmd. .reg, etc..

UPDATE!

Kerry has refused to be my Facebook friend! :-(

Well actually, it was his wife, formerly known as The Lady K.Dee, who
started the rot on Facebook!

He lied when he once said this:-

"BoaterDave is a troll. He has been told that .bat files are not
inherently more harmful than any other executable file many times in
other newsgroups. He ignores everyone's advice and attempts to get
unsuspecting computer users to scan their computers for .bat files and
delete any they find. He has caused a lot of unnecessary worry by
telling people they are infected and urging them to do many different
anti-malware scans. When the scans come up empty he insists they are
still infected and points them to yet another online scanning engine. At
best he is a very sophistcated troll. At worst he is a very paranoid
person who needs professional help. In any case he can be safely ignored."
