Oh, this is truly funny. I got a lot of fake "your computer has been compromised and is being used to send spam" emails. Why do I know they are fake? Here's a typical "alert."

Dear user of midrange.com, Your email account has been used to send a huge amount of junk e-mail during this week. Obviously, your computer was compromised and now runs a trojaned proxy server. Please follow instruction in order to keep your computer safe. Sincerely yours, The midrange.com support team.

Obviously, someone thinks they're being devious, because not so obviously, my husband David IS the midrange support team, and to an extent so am I. Thank you for playing, spammers.
