At least once a day I get the stupidest spam emails perhaps ever. The subject line is “Please update your firewall” (the capitalization varies).

What this makes me wonder about is whether there really is someone, somewhere, who would act on an unsolicited commercial email asking you to install any software, let alone a firewall. Could someone look at this and actually believe that their firewall (assuming they even use one) needs updated, and go to this site and download (or purchase?) and update and execute it?

The only thing I can think of is comedian Ron White’s You Can’t Fix Stupid.

(see also, another article I will write in the future about stupidest and funniest spams).
