Just a little FYI,

...The latest, and pretty much "only" hacker stories to hit the Media Cartel have been based on the "Lone Nut" mentality. (Sound Familiar) This would be the first sign of manipulation.

They are also based on a scripting language used through e-mail and word processing programs designed by...Drum Roll PLEASE......--- MICROSOFT!!! ---

The biggest pile of unsecure, echelon enabled, backdoor NSA installed, gonna see that porn on your drive, and Copying your Mastercard Number, Operating System.

This is not mentioned by the Animatronic News Readers in the Media Cartel either. (Never enough makeup and concerned looks)

That's right, if you don't have microsoft crap on your system, you won't be affected. (By Melissa or I-Luv-U)

The scripting is based on Visual Basic or "VBScript". Outlook is setup to automatically run programs or perform tasks when an e-mail is open. Yup, you can change this option to just view mail messages without running anything.

This does not make you immune to viruses, just easier for someone to screw around on a larger scale. Other operating systems have security holes, but nothing like the Howitzer size Microsoft Security. (Oxymoron?) Win NT and 98 are the easiest to crack of any operating system out there. Even DOS is more secure.

There are other holes in Java and Flash, but these still require the user to actually run the program.
