Millions Continue To Click On Spam 210
An anonymous reader writes "Even though over 80% of email users are aware of the existence of bots, tens of millions respond to spam in ways that could leave them vulnerable to a malware infection, according to a Messaging Anti-Abuse Working Group (MAAWG) survey. In the survey, half of users said they had opened spam, clicked on a link in spam, opened a spam attachment, replied or forwarded it — activities that leave consumers susceptible to fraud, phishing, identity theft, and infection. While most consumers said they were aware of the existence of bots, only one-third believed they were vulnerable to an infection."

No, that parses to "hots ex y via gra pan a loon s 4u"
In other words, previously-married people with y chromosome will have their temperatures increased via a grey pan full of loons, and it's all for you.
This is not the pr0n you're looking for, and if it is you are one sick bastard.

How about we just have a TV show or a movie they want to watch, but teaches them?
Great idea. Here is a sample from the new soap opera, "One Operating System to Run"
"Madeline, we can't keep seeing each other like this."
"It's your wife, isn't it?"
"No, she doesn't care. She hasn't since the accident. It is...I can't say it..."
"Tell me Steven! Tell me!"
"Fine, it is your hard drive, it is a mess."
"What? How can you say that?"
"Admit it Madeline! Not only is it heavily fragmented but it is full of bloated logs, unneeded installation downloads, duplicate mp3's, old temp files, core dumps, I could go on."
"Oh Steven, it's true! It's true! Please help me! I love you! I want to change!"
"Ok, just go to www.diskcleaner.com and download..."
