I have a windows octave 3.0.1
installation. What file(s) are suspect? -Bruce From: Thomas L.
Scofield [mailto:address@hidden To follow-up, my student
had installed a Windows binary---he thinks it was version 3.0.1 from
octave-forge. He cannot be sure because he has purged it from his
computer. Unfortunately, he gave me no "heads up" about this.
The first I heard of it was with the email I shared earlier, which he had
addressed to the entire class. Now I may have a class full of students
who have all purged it from their machines before there has been any
opportunity to investigate this. If that is the case, I don't think it
will be easy to convince them to re-install it even if I am able to promise
them that the binary is spyware-free. Who is equipped to 1) verify my
student's claim that spyware has infected the binary, 2) comment on how it may
have gotten there, and 3) purge it? Thomas L. Scofield -------------------------------------------------------- Associate Professor Department of
