What's so infuriating about those viruses also is the fact that they 
say stupid sh*t like meow meow in the subject... and "I don't like 
plain text" in the body before they say something about password and 
the name of the attachment is a dead giveaway. "Norton Antivirus 
Delete"?... Why would someone want to delete their antivirus 
program?... So you have to be stupider than stupid to run the 
attachment.
