I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again, but these kind of 
things are _very old_ and I fail to see why all of a sudden folk are 
getting all worked up about such things.

Google for something akin to:

   Popp "AIDS Trojan"

and see that that we've been facing this kind of "attack" for more than 
15 years.

How little folk learn...
