Either you protect your clients seriously or you don't.

If you protect them seriously (from their own stupidity BTW) with an anti-virus
software then the 0000 trick is useless.

If you don't protect them seriously the 0000 trick won't save them anyway.

In both cases the 0000 trick is useless. At best it is superstition.

That's why I wouldn't feel secure if I was one of your customer. Your logical
skills seem somehow broken and I would run to find somebody else for the job.
