Computer Virus Alert

[exander]

THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
During the next several weeks be VERY cautious about opening or launching any e-mails that refer to the World Trade Center or 9/11 in any way, regardless of who sent it. PLEASE FORWARD TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW, "WTC" STANDS FOR THE WORLD TRADE CENTER. REALLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL OPEN IT RIGHT AWAY, THINKING ! ITS A STORY RELATING TO 9/11!

BIGGGG TROUBLE !!!! DO NOT OPEN "WTC Survivor " It is a virus that will erase your whole "C" drive.. It will come to you in the form of an E-Mail from a familiar person. I repeat, a friend sent it to me, but called and warned me before I opened it. He was not so lucky and now he can't even start his computer!

Forward this to everyone in your address book. I would rather receive this 25 times than not at all. So, if you receive an email called "WTC Survivor", do not open it. Delete it right away! This virus removes all dynamic link libraries (! all fil es) from your computer.

Ok first off

if you are to damn insipid to open an email from someone you DO NOT know, then you deserve what you get.

Even if you know who the sender was, why not send an email to the person and find out if they actually sent it???

Yeah, it will also make your car run really rough. So if anyone has a car that's running a little bad, it probably has this Virus!! Don't open your car door!!! (oh wait.) DON'T OPEN YOUR CAR DOOR BECAUSE THEN THE VIRUS CAN GET IN!! (cause all caps makes it seem really important.)

This virus is horrible, it will even sleep with your girlfriend/boyfriend! Then it eats all the food in your fridge!

And it drinks all your beer!!! SENT THIS TO 2 MILLION PEOPLE WITHIN THE NEXT 2 MINUTES OR YOU'LL HAVE BAD LUCK FOR 7 YEARS AND YOUR GOLDFISH WILL DIE, AND IF YOU DONT' HAVE A GOLDFISH, YOU'LL GET ONE AND IT WILL DIE.

Get a Mac!



Just opening an e-mail can't do anything unless it takes advantage of your particular mail client (e.g. Outlook/Outlook Express). The only real threat is if you open/run an attachment.

I've seen this type of warning before many times. It is almost always just trying to scare people, and not a real virus.

Most people just open emails and read them you know, especially if there from a friend???
