    Hehehe, any connection would be dangerous. malware scanners are pretty
    good after the malware has been caught, sig generated, and downloaded
    at the banks database. Bit of a window of opertunity there.

    Op was worried about ms in the bank.
    I have more worry about the web pages served from the banks ms servers.

    Last time I looked, Bank One was running Microsoft-IIS/5.0
