1) Get McAffee of Norton anti-virus; 2) Get firewall protection; 3) Scan all attachemts (from know folks). Delete others 4) Don't open/unzip/read anything from folks you don't know.Alot of these get perpetuated with emails headings like,"Microsoft IE service patch update" or "Microsoft XP update" to make you feel this is real and from a trusted source. Microsoft will not send those to you!

For the life of me, I just don't get it. I can't see the upside for these morons doing this kinda stuff. One, if they write a good one or are successful, there is no money in it. They can't really tell anyone for fear of being caught. (this is the upside, mind you). Two, the downside is getting caught and becoming a 400 lbs. wife on death row. Either option seems a real pain in the azzzz
