Repair TCP/IP Stack in Windows Vista
You had a virus, drive corruption, or some other OS altering situation. But, being the hero you are, you resolved it and your PC is up and running again.

Spam: It is inventive.
Here is the latest Scam e-mail I've gotten. Don't be fooled! This is a scam! This e-mail came to one of my e-mail accounts today from different senders and IP addresses but the machine sending names were the same. AND, the content was identical.
