1 in 12.5 million...Nov 9 post

I already knew that italian bf is one in a million, but I now have empirical evidence that he is 1 in 12.5 million...

well...sort of...only 1 in 12.5 million spam emails results in a sale...and italian bf became that statistic yesterday when, in a panic, he bought anti-spyware software from a fake website and thus joined a botnet and became a computer zombie...

italian bf, if you wanted to be a zombie...you could have been one for Halloween, you didn't need to turn your computer into a zombie!!!!

it's crazy how much legwork is now requrired...in addition to blocking the credit card and monitoring all the other credit cards, italian bf has had to go through and change every freaking online account password that we have...since it's possible that his keystrokes were captured...including a crucial password that is used for many different accounts..

this is exactly why they say you should have different passwords for every account...but how the hell are you supposed to remember them all?????????

I'm sorry for the bf, although it is a good story!

One way to keep all your passwords straight is a simple free program called Password Corral, at http://cygnusproductions.com/freeware/pc.asp

It's very easy to use, and I don't think it's a zombie/spambot thing that secretly stores all your passwords to plunder your bank acocunts later. (But I'm 100% not sure!)
