The other possibility for ones with incorrectly spelled words is that it is an attempt to defeat a pattern matching spam filter. If, for example, the filter will grab Viagra, then spell it with the number one or use an @. It might not catch V1@gra, but you still know what it means.
The same holds true for grammar. If the grammar of a sentence does not match, the filter allows it. So don't use the grammar that a filter will catch and the spam attempt is successfully delivered to the target.
Just some thoughts.

Just opened one that I grabbed today. The timestamp on the file, while still in the archive, is 7/19/2006 9:02am.
Here's the first stipulation:
1. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS.
* You may install and use one copy of the software on your device. You may use the software only to internally evaluate and test it.
So does this mean I can install just one copy on only one "device" or one copy per "device"? Also, does this mean I can use it or only to evaluate?
Thoughts?

Alajandro,
I'd think most rootkits would be contained within that virtual machine. They typically insert themselves into the core/kernel of the OS such that the OS cannot see it, its actions, its files, etc. Hope that helps.

There were 4 planes (remember the movie that just now came out called "United 93") that were lost that day.
Don't forget the costs of those lost souls in what future contributions to our economy (who knows what they might have done over the course of their lives in their given fields). Not to mention their families and the changes in their lives (again, who knows what they might have done differently).
I'd also try to keep in mind how people (not just Americans, but all people) tend to be innumurate in that they don't see the extremely small chances of something like approx. 250,000,000 - 4,000 (the odds of being one of the 4,000 killed of the 250+ americans in the country or about 625,000 to 1 against). They see "what if you're one of the 4,000". So the cost of terrorism is more than lives, more than monetary. It includes a lessening of quality of life (living in fear vs. living without fear). That loss contributes to health, productivity, tolerance, trust, etc.

Let me rephrase for the "brave" AC... Thank you, Ma'am, for your service to our country. Some of us do truly appreciate our warriors and defenders.
