169480 2004-02-06 21:22:00 I will consider myself officially told off.
I will do a thousand lines of "I must read the whole thread"
I didn't know you could read a thread except by measuring its tpi, thread angle and diameter.

I doubt that it would have a trojan built into it. It is possible, as some some other utilities that have searching codes built into them, or delve into the bios, that an AV could think it has found something suspicious.
Though why it appears to have gone from Simtel I dont know.

At the time of the original posting, there had been some problems with XP finding devices and/or having drivers for them. That's why this seemed to be useful.

If you dont have any devices that XP cant identify then Aida 32 or Aida 16 would be as good as anything as a general sysinfo tool. Aida 16 is good as it can run from a floppy.


Incidently you also need the pitch diameter, not just O/D, Ted to define a thread more fully :)

Simtel used to be a pretty reliable source. Of course there weren't many viruses then. and none to affect the DEC-20 which hosted Simtel. :D
