Hi Dave,

Backorifice is a new Trojan that can give scrupulous hackers access to your computer making it
in a way like a server. I was informed by my ISP that through this it is also possible to get
your password. There is a good program though to clean and protect your system and it is
freeware. You may download from this site:
