It's silly simple how some of these trojans work.              I think the originators deserve a reciprocation of their own medicine.              I have toyed with the idea of replying to the ones that request payment,        and just send back a message that says, details of payment "are ENCLOSED        in the attachment. Password is the same as you provided: 1234" ..and send        back the file.              Many of these emails are so stupid. I despise those things. There should        be a away to block them right at the ISP/server side. I would rather not        have them delivered to my mailbox in the first place. Why can't ISP's        block certain ip addresses right on the spot?              For example, I just received another blatantly stupid email:              ====[begin]====              National Publication & Community of Professionals                     Dear Valued Candidate,              Congratulations!
