... but, as an internet professional, I can't remember the last time I 
saw a true, self-propagating virus.  It may have been SQL Slammer in 2003.

Since then, it's been all trojan horses.  Remember what the Greeks did 
to the City of Troy some 3,000 years ago.

The easiest way to protect yourself is to simply read.  If the message 
doesn't address you by name, if you don't know the sender, if the 
writing doesn't match the senders' usual style, ask them before you open 
the link or attachment.  If you read carefully there is always something 
wrong with the message.
