i beg to differ
yeah, while the free music downloaders can be a key cause of some spyware/virii getting into a system, people do, in fact, still open bad emails and click on links in im. i work for an isp as a tech supporter and i see it and deal with it every day. maybe on a small company network where you can send out memos and tps reports, people can get the hint. were not dealing with that here. we send out emails and have info on our website, but people still call in "iever since i opened a file inmy email that promised i would see brittney spears nekkid booty". some internet users are pretty smart about stuff like that, but we still have users that dont have a clue about it. not only those, but how about the ones promising a $1000 gift card for gas or win a billion dollars with extremelotto group incorporated affiliated llc? theres all kinds of ways they can try to trick you, or someone you love, into opening something stupid.
