I am talking about the morons who have sent me rubbish
emails, obviously with a virus in them when all I want is
a bit of help to get my PC back to working order, I did
not invite anyone to visit me. Being an innocent user of
the www I am not aware of these scams that go on.
Obviously I had better get a bit more clued up on this. I
am however confused that an organisation such as Microsoft
have not been able to stop this !
