I have a further question about this. It seems that a lot of named tree cultivars are not (or are no longer) patent protected. E.g. oak and beech cultivars selected in the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries that everyone is free to propagate now. Is there an up-to-date, 'official' registry of tree cultivars somewhere that lists their legal status so that I don't have to research each individual one I'm interested in separately? Also, if I germinate seeds of named or patented cultivars, and select seedlings sharing characteristics of the parent, those seedlings are still not genetically identical to the parent and so can be sold freely, correct? (I'm aware selling them under the same cultivar name would be illegal/misleading)

This Looks like what you have it is a network worm so that is how it spreads through the network the only difference is the letter this one is (BVK) and yours is (BKV) I'm sure they do the same thing, you can see all the registry changes it makes, and it appears to disable some software and then tries to connect to a server. W32/Sdbot-BVK is a worm and IRC backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform. W32/Sdbot-BVK can spread via network shares protected by weak passwords, or by exploiting common vulnerabilities, including: LSASS (MS04-011), RPC-DCOM (MS04-012), PNP (MS05-039), and ASN.1 (MS04-007). W32/Sdbot-BVK runs continuously in the background, providing a backdoor server which allows a remote intruder to gain access and control over the computer via IRC channels. W32/Sdbot-BVK includes functionality to access the internet and communicate with a remote server via HTTP. When first run W32/Sdbot-BVK copies itself to \netbtd.exe. The file netbtd.exe is registered as a new system driver service named "NetBTD", with a display name of "NetBTD(ntbtd)" and a startup type of automatic, so that it is started automatically during system startup. Registry entries are created under: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBTD\ W32/Sdbot-BVK sets the following registry entries, disabling the automatic startup of other software: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Messenger Start 4 HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RemoteRegistry Start 4 HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TlntSvr Start 4 Registry entries are set as follows: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate DoNotAllowXPSP2 1 HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Ole EnableDCOM N HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa restrictanonymous 1 Registry entries are created under: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\ HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsFirewall\DomainProfile\ HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsFirewall\StandardProfile\ RSS:Atom Get reports on the latest virus threats delivered to your computer

I cannot figure out how to copy MacAfee so these are approximations of the messages: And I am not sure they are related to the messages in the OP. Details gives many " SystemGuards has allowed a one time change [Here I am confused because each time mentioned in the OP I said do not allow.] Then Details has a paragraph about four security zones Then Rule Type registry Then Process C:\ProgramFiles\MSN\MSNCcorefiles\msn.exe Then process description msn Then process publisher microsoft Then process version [several lines of numbers]Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\InternetSettings\ZoneMap\Domains\//@mail.mar@/

Well, make sure when you register the domain name that you do it as a private registration (i.e. hiding the whois information, thereby making it somewhat difficult to track down who owns the website). It costs a little more, but in a situation like this, it would be worth it. That way, if someone does decide to sue you, they have to put a little more effort into it (presumably by contacting your webhost, and demanding your personal information. Which the webhost should not give up without a subpeona from the suing person's lawyer.) You'll also want to make sure that you find a host that isn't going to dump you at the first complaint (which is far, far too common), so you may want to check out some of these here. I'd also make sure that you review any submissions/cases to the site from other people before validating them, to ensure that there are not any identifying pieces of information, as davidandkasie said before. Faces should be blacked out, and no full addresses -- that's the definite road to getting sued. If you do this, you really ought to do it as a dynamic site (in php, asp, etc with a database) so that people can automatically submit things, you can quickly validate them, and people can leave comments, etc. I really hate rinky-dink websites where you have to submit content through email. It's horrendously time-consuming for the webmaster, and frustrating for the submitters to wait for their content to go up.
