Skepticism and Safety

Welcome to the Internet. Trust no one.

Living in my bubble of tech-savvy friends and acquaintances, it's easy for me to forget that people need to be told this. But then, I get an e-mail from a particular person (who shall remain nameless) warning me about a virus going around in the form of an e-mail attachment entitled "Life is Beautiful." Of course, it's a forward, and I can see the chain of suckers going back several generations. I'm admonished not to open this attachment, because it will (of course) "erase my entire PC!!!"
