From my experiences, when I used to run windows. These email virii or worms are generally received from people we possibly know and trust because we are in their address books. Most average users aren't cautious enough to think that their friend would send them a virus. I myself once thought, "oooh, my brother-in-law sent me this happy park thing, it must be pretty cool". I didn't have virus software installed at the time because in three years of being on the internet I didn't get a virus. Big mistake! It's little things like that which make it easy for virii or worms to have such an impact. my 1 cent -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
