Bee in bonnet.

Don't be too derisive about the infected.

I "trialled" one of these attachments. I ran a latest update (that
day's) virus checker over it (CA's AV)...clean. Then I checked it with
updated malware checkers...clean. I had a firewall running. I started
the trojan. It broke straight through the firewall, even wehn
completely blocked, and although the firewall could "see" the trojan
programme, it simply generated no traffic. I had all sorts of reasons
and excuses from the makers of the firewall.............ecepe that
another firewall _did_ catch the trojan every time.

In the end I used an online virus ID service, and it showed up the
malware in the exe file.

And this was after these things had been floating around for a week.

It appears there are two hand jobs here. The one by the perpetrators
of this shit, and the other by the purveyors of semi-capable
"protection".
