I'm sorry...

I'm sure you're a very nice person, and mean well. I'm sure that, if I were to meet someone like you, I might even be able to go a few minutes without getting too annoyed. On second thought, the preceding sentence is probably untrue. All that said, I agree with the general principle behind what you said, that the world would be better without virii, trojans, worms, other forms of malware, and spam. It would also be nice if teenagers didn't die in car wrecks by the hundreds, young kids didn't lose their parents to cancer or other forms of disease, or young kids themselves didn't die from disease and starvation all around the world.

Given the fact that all of the above happen, the question then becomes one of what to do about it, and in the case of software problems, we already know. Antivirus, firewalls, and other forms of securing your data are smart things to do that anyone with half a brain has already been doing for a number of years. Spam? Delete it and use a spam-blocker if you want. Oh, and to prevent a lot of it in the first place, here's a novel thought: Why not avoid opening emails from people you don't know? Actually, that goes a long way towards eliminating a lot of the other problems as well. Give me a "D". Give me a "U". Give me an "H". What do you get? DUH!!!
