Am i the only one thinking: WTF?

Looks like just another PC mail worm. It's getting to the point now where Apple need to start booting PC users from their lists, if they're going to keep making pains of themselves.

Windows PC users, shirley? Speaking as someone who has Linux-GNUstep and Darwin/x86 on his PC hardware, I'd hate to think that people are making the dodgy assumption PC=Windows. It's one step from there to Computer=Windows, and those of us who try to bank online know how tough that assumption makes things.

That and improve their junk mail filter (Mail picks these up as junk just fine, ironically).


As said worms/viri don't affect *any* Cocoa-or-Cocoa-a-like installation[*], I think it's legitimate on this list to merely try ignoring worm messages and hoping the SNR doesn't decrease too much. If it gets painfully bad, then complaining to Apple may be on the cards. The problem with a junk filter is the possibility of false +ves, so you then require moderation, which means employee time...
