Hi,

We received dozens of Virus warnings from various anti virus
applications that complained about 'malicious code' in our article
"JavaScript Can Write Anything to the Windows' Registry".

Please note that the code in the article is not 'live'. That is - it
cannot be activated since it's "quoted". In order to actually run the
code, you would need to intentionally paste it into an HTML file and
open it in a browser. Simply viewing the article or the e-mail message
in an HTML capable mailer application will have no affect.

This is true for all 'exploit code' that sometimes appear in our
articles. Being a security mailing list, our articles occasionally
contain 'malicious code', but it will never be activated by simply
reading the article, but rather it will be 'quoted' or disabled.
