MyDoom Weird!!??

I received an email, purporting to come from my wife's sbcglobal.net account. It was loaded with an infected file called 'i_search_for_you.com'. Our computers are not infected. How was this worm able to find me, and do it while pretending to come from my wife's account? Weird...

My Doom and Google

go hand in hand. I am completely shocked that Google brass would be using the most unreliable, hacked and virus prone Microsoft Windows based computers on the planet. I would expect them to be more Liberla minded and use a most stable and reliable OS such as Linux for their billions of pages. This only means Google doesn't care about the future and probably cares less about people buying their stock, making it an unreliable future purchase. It's obvious that this virus problem will continue into the future. I wouldn't invest in Google if their going to contiue using an Edsel for an Operating System. Where's the logic in that.

If you use Windows you're prone to any virus and hack. Don't be surprised and call it weird!
