My Blackice reported someone trying to access my computer
using the "Macromedia JRun "forward-slash" authentication
bypass." I went to Macromedia's site to download Jrun 3.1
upgrade/patch, but it is a rather large file. My
questions is, I am running Win98SE and do I need this or
is this for servers primarily? The literature is a little
confusing. It says all Windows platforms are vunerable yet
when i run file search for Jrun*.* I receive no results.

Should I install this?

Thanks
