Dear Future Gamer,
A long time ago I was reading a bit about people worried about getting viruses. Well I remember a certain magazine, which had a virus on its demo disc. Now I know they are not in the business of stuff like that, but it shows how easily it can happen. I'm sure you'll never have a virus on your email, cause it's basically a Web-page put in a saved file, but it can still happen really. But the funny thing was, I never knew I had the virus till my PC froze for 10 seconds every 30 mins and after I ran a different virus scan to the one I already had on my PC...so who knows maybe you are sending out viruses to us and we don't even know?
