Why would someone make trouble for the Communist News Network? ;)

I never have received e-mail from CNN, and do not plan to do so. On the other hand, this will bring down the computers of many socialistas.

CNN is a virus.
A PC virus. How appropriate.

Pretty stupid virus writer if he thinks anyone is going to open a CNN story.
Best protection is to never open attachments. Total attachment abstinence.

"Virus writers are always looking for new tricks to entice innocent computer users into running their malicious code." Perhaps the legal penalties for this type of activity could be increased until it becomes prohibitive, or until we run out of virus writers.

Actually, the virus writer is (probably) hoping DUmmies will open a CNN story.
The only question is, which one of you characters is responsible? ;)

Any time I get any news from any source besides NewsMax it gets 86'ed.

Set your email program to read only in plain text, too....:)Definately. I use Hotmail and it is real good that way. It will not let you open anything in the form of a graphic until you say to enable.
Someone sends me an email with colored text, it does not show up. I reply and tell them to send regular text or I can not see it.

The last time attackers targeted CNN was in 2000, when the Time Warner company fell prey...to a series of denial-of-service attacks. LOL! As if CNN or Time Warner ever provided any service.

Since I started doing that [Outlook Express 6 made it possible] I have not gotten a single email virus.
[the great side-benefit is that I don't have to actually look at those "bored, lonely housewives" and *worse* everytime my mail opens]...LOL!
The only things I've ever been hit with are website trojan "bugs".
AntiVir and Spybot catches and quarantines them before they install themselves so I've been pretty good, so far.
Plus, I have a hardware firewall, which helps a -lot-...:))
