Better still... get a Mac and you can't get infected with all those crappy PC viruses.
If you write to anyone requesting information tell them not to send it as an attachment but just type the details into the email. So much easier and less risky.
Anyone who buys a PC and runs any Microsoft software, including Windoze XX deserves everything they get. Anyone with a teeny bit of originality will go for something that isn't bog standard Microcrap and won't suffer the consequences of a second rate operating system and the multitudes of viruses and worms that are written every day by spotty oiks. It never ceases to amaze me how many people buy a PC running MS crapware just because everybody else does. Like lambs to the slaughter!
Off soapbox!
