You can prevent the ASP's from being viewed by disabling READ access within MMC for the ASPs. If you disable READ access for your entire site (or all files, like .gif, .htm, .etc) then those files will not be displayed at all. ASPs need execute only, all non-executing files need READ access to display normally. Second, Microsoft have been notified. Expect a fix announcement shortly. Third, I was able to talk to Bob Denny (author of O'Reilly's WebSite Pro), it is not affected by this exploit. I was not able to find a contact at Netscape to ask. Cheers, Russ
