Heh... My aunt was hit by that one. I told them what it was and it took my
dad forever to talk his sister into cleaning her system and changing her
password.
My sister ran a virus once on her computer and started getting phone calls at
all hours of the night. This virus can be used for more purposes than just
pranks. This guy logged in to my sister's account and got her address, phone
number and everything, then said he was going to be in the area, and said he
was going to stop by the house since he had her address. Some people are just
plain sick.

screeds are unwelcomed. Substance�not soap-boxing�please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'�with its many half-truths, mis-

major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
