That's cool. Produce software that invites malware (virii, bots, worms,  
trojans, etc.), and then sell more software that "protects" from the  
faulty stuff you produced in the first place. MS has truly got the world  
hoodwinked. I'm sorry, but they have lost my trust. Why would I trust them  
to "protect" my computer, if the very software they produced, caused the  
problem in the first place? Huh? Is anybody really going to fall for this?  
Yes, I'm afraid millions will. The blind leading the blind.
