I'm getting 3-4 attempts at e-mail viruses a day. They're all from random e-mail addresses "beerbongmaster", "hotmailstaff", "jarthur"... all spawning from some random e-mail provider I've never heard of. They all say "Sheesh, fine. Here is it." and come with an attachment called "fileforandrew". Small attachments from people I don't know... IT MUST BE CANDY!  :D

Or I get these ones, same e-mail provider, from "hotmailstaff", "xangastaff", or "aolstaff" claiming they need my account information... all bull. I'm not getting the Nigerian or world lottery ones, but I get some stupid ones.  ::)

Oh, you are so kind. (kind of what I won't say.  ;) )  ;D ;D ;D
