To be honest, the "victims" have it coming to them...

Use IE? Yeah right.

Use outlook? Yeah right.

Use Windows Firewall? Yeah right.

Funny how running a free antivirus, Firefox with NoScript, and Thunderbird protects me from most uuuh.. "threats" ?

When people smash the IQ barrier by willingly clicking on a *fucking .exe* hosted on a website with only an IP and no domain name, it's just a cry for help that echoes "kick me really hard please, I'm in desperate need of technical advice and common sense".

Behold the sheep that feed the AV industry, which itself feeds the virus industry...

Stupid is as stupid does

Sadly, this will have no effect on the gene pool. These people will go out and find other people whose machines have also been infected because they clicked on an email attachment, and procreate...

I can't believe these were a trojan, the sentiment was so moving: "Hi. family member has sent you a greeting card." Who could fail to be moved & duped by such sincerity?

Family Member won't be on my Christmas card list this year.
