Recently he forwarded me an attached file about soldiers in Iraq, and when I opened it, I noticed some excessive disk activity, and then the Spyware 2008 popups started appearing, apparently it piggybacked past my firewall in the file he sent me, and modified my registry so that one of many copies of itself loads every time I boot up. Not easy to get rid of at all, but I seem to have finally done so. I notified my erstwhile friend of what had occurred, and his response was "Well, that wouldn't happen if you had a Mac." Seems as though he doesn't feel very responsible for spreading a Trojan Horse like this, which makes me feel less like being his friend.
