which would you consider more trustworthy:
a.) a patch from someone with lots of references, including vendors of anti-virus software?
b.) a worm embedded in a .jpg file?

i can understand why you're skiddish about this, but i'm more worried about what could happen in the next week when hackers have an open door.
