Re: A virus in the EULA (End User License Agreement) was Re: "Prior Inventions" on employment contract

 I believe they are now calling that kind of program a parasite, not a virus
  It usually loads spyware and advertising.  Gloxter is one such program

Modifying the document and see if they read it?

That reminds me. A techie here reported on a virus that came on some
software. And right in the standard license agreement in which we all
click on "I Agree" was something like 'The software will use your outlook
client and replicate itself to others machines...'. So, like can the
author be sued if they acknowledge that they are putting a virus on your
system?

A big idea?!?!?

My employer sent me the contract as a Word document. I wonder what
would happen if I slipped in some words to negate the section I am
having problems with, and printed that out and signed it and returned
it. I wonder if anyone would bother to read the whole thing to see if
I modified it?

Hmmm. The Word document is "protected". I need a password to
"Unprotect Document". I'll have to do a google search on that to see
if someone's got a hack. (You just know there has to be one.)
