Why is it that viruses are created by stupid people that don't know how to spell?

A new virus TROJ_VOTE.A was discovered yesterday.

It executes a script that parses drives and directories in search of HTM and HTML files, and overwrites them with the following string:

AmeRiCa ...Few Days WiLL Show You What We Can Do !!! It's Our Turn >>> ZaCkEr is So Sorry For You .

It propagates via Microsoft Outlook by sending emails to all users listed in the infected user's address book. The email arrives with the attachment �WTC.EXE�. Upon next reboot, the dropped file Zacker.vbs is executed. It appends an instruction to autoexec.bat to format drive C:. It then deletes every file it finds in the Windows directory.

It displays a message box with the following:

I promiss We WiLL Rule The World Again...By The Way,You Are Captured By ZaCker !!!"

and reboots the machine. Since the autoexec.bat has been modified, drive C: will be formatted on the next reboot.

The thing is, I knew it was only a matter of time before someone tried to create a virus related to all of this tragedy. Just please be careful with your e-mail, people! Don't open anything from anyone you don't know. This virus is very destructive.
