This virus had to have been written by someone in another country who's primary language isn't english. For one that's some of the worst grammer I've ever seen in a virus email. I've seen worse obviously, but this one is perty bad. Oh well. Just thought you guys would get a kick out of it. The virus itself is harmless to me as I run Freebsd and not windows. But it's still kinda funny how these guys use bad english and waste their programming skills on writing viruses. Of course a few of them suck so bad even at virus writing that it's pathetic. I've seen a few viruses come through lately that are so poorly written that everyone in the security community is dying laughing as the virus struggles for a little while, then dies.

Virus "struggles then dies"? That's pretty humorous. A virus either delivers its payload, or it doesn't; no struggling involved.

And keep in mind that most of these aren't viruses, they're merely stupid human tricks. A real virus takes a GREAT amount of skill.

This is true. But to those who don't understand all this, I figured that addressing all of them under the general term of "virus" was most apropriate. Less chance for general confusion.

I might be wrong here, but when you say "They also prey on the clueless too", you only need also OR too, not both.

They also prey on the clueless -OR- They prey on the clueless too.

So in conclusion, your grammar sucks.
