IMHO when the little ****s that are responsable for these virus/theft emails are caught they should be beaten to within an inch of their geeky criminal lives and then made to watch brady bunch reruns for the next thrity years as the only source of human contact while they rot away in solitary confinement as an exaple to all that will follow that such dirty little tricks as these will not be tolerated.

Whoever is stupid enough to execute .EXEs sent via mail doesn't deserve better. Amazing how stupid people are. Nobody would accept some odd device from a total stranger, bring it into his home, and press the red button on it. But when it comes to internet, some people seem to routinely switch off their brain.

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

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.
