One additional item, virus writers use visual basic to step through the 
user's address book and send an email to everyone in it including an 
attachment of the virus. This would be like that postal letter grabbing 
your stationary and address book and placing a letter inside, writing 
the address, attaching a stamp and running to the postal box and 
jumping in.

with their purchases?
