RE: Here is a real reality check for every PC user...

And here's the big finale, folks.  Google desktop is the problem, not us,
and by the way, all that wonderful AV software is now officially useless.

What this means is that Google can install it, McAfee can't catch it, and
Microsoft is not to blame.  This is the first official announcement that
Microsoft cannot protect its users.  As this malware gets more criminal in
nature, these companies will all be able to say it's not their fault.
