I've been getting these for a couple of months...at least one a day.

When I got the first one I figured it was fake. If it was real wouldn't they have my name and not just my email?

I'm perplexed trying to understand why they would want to give one a virus. It is some high they go on infecting people? Do they attach something onto the software for some purpose?
I have no idea.
