hmmm, well when I used "pine" the virus didn't execute, when I used "elm"
the virus didn't execute, when I used "mutt" the virus didn't execute (see
where I'm going with this?)
I have to use a windows box at work, and I use outlook (again, corporate
software, I can synch my schedule with everyone elses!! YEAH! *not*)
Useing outlook, I did not get the virus, WHY? Because I don't open
ANYTHING that I'm even remotely unsure of. I refuse any/all executables.
All scripting is turned off in my browser, and all of my office programs.
I don't even preview my mail.
After more than a decadea of e-mail use and 2 decades of computer use,
I've yet to get infected with a virus. (I'm furiously knocking on my
wooden table top here!) Even WITHOUT anti-virus software. I think it's
simply because no one loves me. Or maybe because I'm just paranoid?
With that in mind, I humbly submit the solution is extreme parnoia. I
suggest all computer users should be exposed to checmical agents that will
cause this parnoia instantly. It could be slipped into the drinking
water, the NSA should do this to protect American and Canadian
infrastructure. (The Canadians are very important to the US economy plus
most tech support calls goto Ontario!) This would also help prevent the
dreaded Chinese hacker attacks....
It's almost Friday, enjoy a brief smile and go about your work.
