Well, this is amusing. 

The "15 emails test" was designed to be run only on computers running their 
security products or no security products at all. According to this email, if 
you run any other security product, the tests tell you nothing. In other words, 
since those us us who run Pegasus are at least partially protected, all bets 
are off. If you (like me) removed the vbs runtime files, roughly 1/2 the tests 
are useless because those emails *use vbs to install the worms*, which is 
NOT a real life situation. In any case, the pattern of the emails apparently is 
set to provide a nice pretty gui to alert their registered customers that they 
are "protected" by doing what should be done anyhow instead of buying 
more security product to do it for them.

Thanks again.

The tests on our site are intended to help customer using our product, GFI
MailSecurity, to see if their email is properly protected against email threats.
These tests are not for machine with out this product or just stand alone
machine. If you try to use these tests with other products or none at all, they
will not work.
