They could stuff the trojan into a password-encrypted ZIP and some dummies would still carefully follow the directions to unzip and install/execute it. They could title the email "This is the trojan program the government wanted to surpress!" and some people would still install it.
Possibly they paid someone else to polish it into shape? What are really sad are the posts on the *.jobs Usenet groups: frequently illiterate rants about how they never hear back from headhunters, and asking why language skills important for a technical position. (I know that their cover letters aren't any better. Many will fire a resume at any valid email address they can find, without bothering to read the post--which isn't a job offer.)
Obviously these 100 people need to be refused cable TV service--It's for their own good. They'll probably still complain: "Last night as I was watching my neighbors through binoculars to make sure they were being moral citizens, I noticed an extremely disgusting program on their television..."
And even if the information isn't offshored, well, how much of your computer was made in China? Drives, motherboard, network cards, etc... (Do they make foil hats too?)
If people are going to trust clueless searches of the Internet and archive material, start planting the stuff now that you'll want people to find later!
A search of GoogleGroups will get a lot more than my life since ARS and NANAE have been the hardest hit by sporgery (spam-forgery) attacks over the years.
Not a change of heart at all. They just don't want people mis-using their trademark (otherwise they lose it) in a product name. They've allowed the general use of spam (lowercase only) to refer to email abuse, since they can't turn back the tide. In this case, they're handing out cans of SPAM in a promotion with a comedy group who did a routine involving SPAM, so there's no confusion about which and whose product SPAM refers to in this case.
Was that Canopy Group or Canopic Group? A group that keeps dead people's organs in jars seems to fit better. Speaking of entertainment value, if Darl could just fill out this special organ donour card...
But they won't force it on people (except people who work for the government or contractors). Of course, if you did get the card, you'd get the express treatment past the security at the airport (and the train station, the ferry, Statue of Liberty...) You'll choose it of your own free will citizen. Of course you will.

It would give a quick tutorial question on Windows security and won't let you out until you get it right.

Really?
P.S. About that "worrifiedably" ... :)
Have they lost all their Nader marbles?
And you trusted (a) that the add/remove really worked, (b) that the readme wasn't lying?
And if you throw out your computer, you'll never have a crash, malfunction or have to upgrade.

1. A type of food often served at parties, etc consisting of a small piece of bread or toast spread or topped with something savoury.
Mmmm!

We know what you want!

And at 18% throughput, you had to blow a lot of smoke!
Any relation to Albanifest ?
Just don't look out the Windows.

"That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death may die."
Arggh! You have said The Word! One word that the Knight of Ni! cannot hear!
But just before we award you this can, the old man from Scene 24 has a few questions...
