This is funny

I get a kick out of how you make this sound so improbable..

installed some kind of root kit, virus or custom rouge code which then searched your machine found an e-mail account configured in outlook

Geez man, the guy could have had a keylogger running thats sending out information, or still had a piece of mallware running, its not like vista scans the machine for mallware before it installs.

I mean, Aren't we talking about Microsoft software? Some of the most flawed software comes from microsoft. Do I have to bring up windows ME?? An independant study recently stated that 96% of the time you are using internet explorer there are known security holes without patches available. Talk about Zero day..

Now, Don't get me wrong. Im thinking this guy probably just posted his email somewhere he shouldn't have or something like that.

But I don't think its going to be very long before we start to see alot more of these types of messages..
