Last year I got this horrible virus that would take documents of mine and attatch itself to them. Then, it would mail it out to people. Seems simple enough right? Well not only did it send it out to anyone I had ever emailed or received an email from, but also anyone who's email address had ever been on computer (ie any email address on any webpage that may have popped up, or pages that I visited). Several greekchat members got very angry with me when my computer infected theirs. Beyond that, it sent my documents out to random universities, US military institutions, and major international corporations. I got an email from (among other places) the Naval Academy, the Air Force, several state schools in the South, Disney, and Tylenol corporate- all of whom let me know that, while they appreciated receiving my Lit101 essay/NBO Constitution/Personal Poetry/Online diary entries, they had gotten a virus from me and I could I please not contact them anymore. It was actually pretty funny in retrospect. Thank god Norton finally got rid of it....
