Speaking of which, I noticed a news article about this "Worm" (it's not a 
virus, so they have now decided) and they (Microsoft and FBI) are INSISTING 
anyone infected contact their local office of the FBI.

Now I have to admit, this is a really weird kinda thing?  Since when does 
Microsoft and the FBI ask users who use the formers software that gets 
infected by the latters, I mean the worm, go around asking users to contact 
the FBI?

Maybe it's a crime not to have a secure computer in the USA now?

Maybe soon it will be a crime to have a computer in the USA!
