It wasn't from a 'dodgy site'. It was from a well known software site that I had downloaded hundreds of programs from, over a ten year period. That ONE file was hacked. I had downloaded it and used it on a different computer a few days earlier with no problems. I deleted the hacked file and downloaded a fresh copy about six hours later, and that file was OK. Do whatever you want with your systems. I just avoid known risks. Microsoft may have corrected that 'feature', but I prefer Wordpad because it has always worked better, until Win7. I copied the XP version to my Win7 computers, because it didn't give me the option of saving new files as .htm/.html I've created dozens of websites with just Wordpad. They are flashy, but they are compact and don't load dozens or hundreds of scripts into the user's system. There are a few different CSS, and just one tiny Javascript for the Email button to function. That file also sets the copyright date on the pages. I've never installed or used Word, Works or any of their other bloatware. I have repaired and built PCs for over 30 years. I've done hundreds, and any program that ran micros was considered a security risk. -----Original Message----- |
