Isn't that one of those annoying default settings from Microsoft?

My family ruteenly does this too me. *Takes deep breath and lets it out slowly* I have had to do more PC virus work than any two of my friends.

I got that Paypal scam e-mail three times in the Last few days. It looked official so I believed it was real until I read the part where they wanted me to run the attached program, and then I got suspicious. So I ignored the message.

Hah! When I saw that I wasn't suspicious, just contrary.
