Well, the fact that phil has noticed them means that he is either fairly competent or has working virus scanning software, thus precluding him from adding to the deluge of this crap. There's not a lot that we can really do about this, as there are countless people with the ID-10-T error that lack up to date virus scanners.
Your comment, in this instance, wasn't hugely constructive.. Anyway.. Mario Kart is calling!
