RE: Re: New Virus under way ...

I'm not sure what EIP is but I do know that hex in this case is for lack of
a better way to say it "binary shorthand".  Each hex digit 0-9, A-F
representing a 4 bit binary string (binary table=128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1).  In
this case h4=0100 h1=0001 so 0x41414141 is short-hand for the 32 bit binary
value: 0100001010000101000010100001

Not sure, but wouldn't that be 0x41 0x41 0x41 0x41 ???? I'm not that
good in hex, but I swear that I thought that you missed something.... ;)
