Unfortunately, a lot of times this type of thing is not generated directly from your computer and is not a virus. If the bad guys get your email address, they can generate it from their computer in your name. As far as I'm concerned, these folks should be drawn and quartered like the old days. Tie each limb to the bumper of a 426 Max Wedge, 426 Hemi, 318 Poly and 383 Four barrel and light 'em up in different directions. Maybe a 440 six pack on the 5th limb just for grins. It's almost impossible for the average computer user to stay on top of protection. FYI, I've been a computer programmer for 20+ years and I've done VERY well with Avast for computer protection, and it's free. www.avast.com. - Jim Jim Altemose, Long Island, NY '63 Polara 500 (Max Wedge) '63 Polara 500 (383) '65 Belvedere I (Street Wedge) '71 Bronco On Thu, Sep 15, 2011 at 10:17 AM, Cory Rempel <cory_383@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > To all of those who received this piece of crap email I apologize.
