Have fun with that spyware.

<hint>
When asking for favors from people it is a good idea to be nice to
them.

The whole thing's rather humerous... The guy asks for help, gets it,
although not in terms that he likes, and makes fun of the respondent.

From what I understand, this particular piece of malware wreaks havoc,
every time you turn on your machine... The longer it stays, the more
destruction it causes.

Good luck, trs.

Actually, my spelling's rather "humerous," too! As a medical person,
I use "humerous" far more than "humorous." I guess I need some time
off! <g>
