| But, that comes with using Windows. What's more 
| disturbing is that these malware-bearing 
| messages are getting to be timelier and better 
| written. It used to be that malware e-mail was 
| badly written junk. You'd never mistake them for 
| a legitimate message. The three messages I 
| mentioned though all looked like they could have 
| been real ones. I'm about as paranoid as it 
| comes in computer security, but the basketball 
| one almost tricked me.
