Yup, that why we DON'T walk in Hydepark at midnight (or if you have too then
some kind of protection is advised).

Things are no different on the Net.  There are some things it is safe to do
(reading emails) and some things its NOT safe to do (opening attachments
that arrive with the emails).

Anyone that plug a windoze box into the Internet without taking some sort of
security precaution is just as stupid as someone walking through hyde park
at midnight.
