I liked the Russians better when all we needed to fear was nuclear annihilation.
Puny humans fear Korgo... Seriously, virus writers are total sucmbags. I hope the remnant of the KGB goes all cold-war on their ass. |

This is made possible by the same 2 exploits in IE that the Spyware scumbags are using to do drive-by-installs.
It's been known about for some time now, yet no fix from Microsoft yet. |

"It's been known about for some time now, yet no fix from Microsoft yet."
