good point, Social engineering is the main reason leading to  virus
infect. the mail goal of viruses. the majority  of viruses aimed at
stealing computer user's personal information. if Linux becomes popular
enough, i think that there will be a lot of viruses spread in the Linux
world.

thanks for your suggestions, i translate the openoffice files into PDF
and sent them to Chinese. but now there is a problem, I need to edit the
files written in Chinese and saved in MS Word2003 format. when i use
openoffice open the files . the files can not be  displayed correctly. i
have to re-edit the files in openoffice and then start my work.
