The "flamer32Worm" is found in the Middle East.

Duqu was spread by MS Word documents.

Try Mozilla Firefox, and add the "No Script" addon to force you to allow 
a page with Java Scripts.

Those that stay with IE, Outlook, and only MS based software get what 
they deserve.  The hijacked E-mail accounts we see are due to web based 
E-mail.  Those servers are always going to be a risk unless you stop 
leaving your address book "in the cloud"!

Also an IT type.  Started in '83, ended formally in 2002.  Never have 
had a single machine get infected.
