I read (from NetNews) that there might be (troyan) virus in Curse. (I am not sure about the name, but it is mousecursor changer.) The article said that there was some suspicious stuff in prg code, connected with HD partition tables. Curse will be real curse if it will mix your HD partition table. I hope i am not right.
