Reminds me of the guy I heard on the radio this morning when I was driving into work. He said he had heard about

this PC virus <yea, right> and decided to protect all his software he had just installed this software he bought on

his PC and it immediately identified 16 viruses and then asked him if he wanted to keep them!

And he paid for this information too!

You gotta love it.
