[nessafan2004]

has anybody heard about the new computer virus that is spreading by e-mail. it is meant to be worse than the blaster worm virus and has infected over 100.000 computers already. if you get a e-mail with a calculator symbol or the word .EXE. in the subject line DON'T open it as this is how the virus is speading so fast.

That's the cool thing. You don't have to worry about spyware. Spyware is so hopeless that the only way it can even have a chance of succeding is to target the Windows market. There simply aren't enough macs out there to make it worth their while to write spyware for the platform. Just like nobody bothers to write OS X virii. Ha ha.
