    Oh, and FYI, spyware and porn dialers can't get onto your PC
unless _you_ install them. Granted, you might not have bothered to
read all of the fine print when you clicked on that oh-so-tempting
URL, but the decision was yours nevertheless. Anyway, what did you
expect? The entire purpose of installing programs like Kazaa is to
invite the entire Internet into your hard drive.
