Read for comprehension, ray! The article says "were the target", and did
not say that any were infected. I would guess, from the limited experience
that I have with the internet, that 100% of the people in the USofA were the
target of viruses in that same period. I know that everytime that I bother
to check the junk pile, there are a couple of attachments that the virus
squawker claims are infected and that is every month or two. And that
doesn't count the phishing scams and the letters from the wives of recently
passed Nigerian generals or high-ranking government officials.
