Ashrey: even a short answer to that one is long. I'll try and post a full article on that some time.

A piece of advice for many people: Make sure that in Windows Explorer the option ´hide extensions for known filetypes´ is not checked (tools/folder options/view). Then at least you will see that an attachement has an .exe extension and be warned not to open it.

Leo, why and how (not too detailed) do people make these viruses and worms? How do get distributed so widely? Are people forwarding them? Is there some database of emails that malicious people have. What do they gain by sending worms and viruses? Thanks.

Useful warning and quite a good idea to add the transcript: for non English mother tongue it makes understanding sure without re-listening while improving the capability of listening. Just a minor shortcoming, I had to open two windows to keep the transcrip on the screen.
Thanks
Umberto
