Exactly! And yet.... Some of the phishing looks legit. I had one that looked exactly like a bank statement. If you hovered over address then it was obvious it wasn't coming from bank. I am sure some people fell for it.

Lol that's why you don't click on links sent by people!

Lucky you! I have had some trouble when we had PC's. I spent numerous hours isolating and removing one from husband's laptop 2 years ago. You can get them from emails sent that are infected with virus. On a given week, I usually get at least one odd email from a friend with an infected computer - then later, they send the "don't click on my email link" email!

I'm not infected.

Seriously, I don't get it. I've had a computer since... as long as I can remember. I've NEVER had any kind of significant virus. Seems simple to me: don't click on things, don't get a virus. hm.

I really, really hate computer spammers and hackers.  You should all make sure you don't have this malicious virus ready to kill your internet in summer.
