Just got a virus from the "New York Press". I sent them a nastygram
about this article
http://www.nypress.com/17/25/film/ArmondWhite.cfm

last night saying something like "Armond White is an ignorant moron"
Just checked my email and my Norton Antivirus intercepted it and
said it couldn't be decontaminated, recommended quarantining. I'm gonna copy it onto another computer I don't care about (but have to sorta rebuild, it's just a spare) and open up whatever it is to try and see what they sent me. The text part said "Please send us your full name and location, we would like to publish your letter."

I know nothing about the "New York Press", just happened to surf to the article - maybe someone on DU mentioned it...but apparently they were trying to give me some shit. I'm pretty certain it wasn't spoofed.
What kind of media would act that way, though? Jebus...

1. Don't know about you but I've been getting a bunch
of attacks on my new 'puter. Luckily, I too have my Norton thingy on high security. Got all kinds of stuff from everywhere trying to "get me". I'm hating this.
