    I just hope that "Bagle" is a social hack (user has to click on screwme.exe) and not something that'll automagically install once you open the email in Virus Express.



    This is just sad. I wonder how much longer it'll be before all the patches to Win2K contain more lines of code than the original shipping product!

    Hey, I work in Win / PeopleSoft / Excel all day. For many years my livelihood has depended on my expertise with computers, Windows and number crunching abilities. That's why I can say that Windows sucks! It desperately needs a makeover in the security department.

    Hahaha, sorry saps. I got three of these emails from people I have never even heard of, so I carelessly clicked on each one, and deleted them without incident. God bless you OS X.
