Re: speaking of viruses

My iMac gets virtually zero messages. Yet, if one leaves traces:
        1. I did receive multiple messages from Nigerians noting they had
            $36 million in the bank waiting for my aid. And, to find out
            more I answered for fun. Now I receive yet more
        2. Cookies in your browser. If you go to the 'Preferences' in your
            browser you'll find 'Cookies'. These set permanent threads
            which allow 'spiders' to roam the web and find you out then
            deposit unwanted messages.
