Somehow, avg can insert a sig into ones newgroup postings. If one can insert a sig through an email process then... that means *anyone* can insert a sig/etc into someone elses post. Not only a sig, but maybe make the whole post...blank. Everytime he post, he sees nothing. There are those out there that believe that Usenet cannot be hacked.. but it's obvious that a backdoor, or a new way to hack someone else post exist. You just need to know...how AVG does it. What's the connection between Email and Usenet? What is the key that unlocks the door to usenet postings???? A new UDP? I Love it! (as donald jr. would say) I WANT IT!
