I just read the "other" thread and then hopped over to 2+2 and read that one - and there is one thing I agree on.
One person mentioned that they started getting slammed with worm emails within the hour of installing Choice.
This is also my experience, but it took more like 24 hours. I hadn't had one worm email to that address previously (it was my home addy @ cox) and these emails specifically had choice poker words in their subject and/or message. There was always a zip or .exe file attached.
I was getting like 3 a day.
I don't have that address anymore, but I just looked and I do still have ONE of the emails (don't know why I didn't throw it away). It's coming from
choice_poker@yahoo.com, the subject says "hello", the message itself says "here, the serials", and there's an attached mails.zip file.
Here's the headers:
