Although Microschmeg makes it easier for them, the "core" of the problem are the unscrupulous people who exploit the many holes in Billware.

Mistrust Microsoft products. They are the core of the problem. And there are lots of alternatives that are free, and better, and faster, and lots smaller.

I make the offer again. Anyone that would like help installing a non-Microsoft browser, i.e. Mozilla, Opera, etc., or a non-Microsoft mail client, i.e. Pegasus, Eudora, etc., please contact me.
