Difference between "exe" and "com" files?
Since this eruption of Sircam virus has kept us quite busy we had to do a little tweaking in the registry.
Since the virus infects the registry commmand that executes programs with the "exe" exetension you have to rename the regedit program to .com.
My question is, why does this work? Is there a difference between exe and com?
I tried this will other programs just for kicks and it seems to work.
It worked great since I removed the virus and couldn't open iexplore. So I renamed it to *.com and it worked.
So WDG's(windriver guros) whats the difference?
