These f*****s are so crafty these days. My Mac consultant recently told me to never upgrade any of my Adobe software from the little pop-up window that tells you to update your Adobe Reader. Apparently the real one and the fake are now indistinguishable. The old days of charming misspellings and cousins in Nigeria are long-gone, apparently. <br /><br />The very day I saw your terrible last post, there was an article in the paper saying that these Crypto-attacks are becoming epidemic, infecting even police and government computers. You mustn't blame yourself. So wretchedly evil! I'm so sorry, EC.
