Safe Surfing

So far, I've received about 100 e-mail messages infected with the MyDoom virus, (aka W32.Novarg.A@mm) and the address I set up for Julius Schwartz has received about ten. Norton Anti-Virus has been catching them like Willie Mays on a good day, but it's still an annoyance.

Quick prediction: Both Democrats and Republicans are planning major online campaigns in the coming election with weblogs, mass e-mailings, websites, etc. Betcha we'll see some charges that each side has engaged in the planting of viruses and the use of "spyware" (programs that spy on your computer activity). In fact, zealous hackers of both persuasions will probably do exactly that. There will be a George Bush Virus and one for whoever the Democratic nominee is.
