I think I said, I pay (!) for one of the two acknowledged best antiV packages, Avira Pro. It is active all the time real time and keeps up-to-date every time you connect. Full file scan at your discretion, in my case weekly.

The thing is, it would have to be a pretty clever cookie to identify my name and title, S2KI handle and private email address AND to tie them all together and use them as such?

It's been years since I was a practicing programmer, but you'd have to be pretty good to extract those items of data AND to know what they were just from stuff sitting here in memory on my PC ... Although the wacky use of upper and lower case does tend to indicate a programmatical rather than data based source, I must admit.

PM me the entire message including headers. I can pretty much guarantee it was collected by a harvesting robot but send me those email headers and I can tell you for sure.
