Virus????

[STEVE IN MASS]

Hey John, oh MR. Virus Guru......is this one legit or just more spam? Sort of sounds like spam to me. Just wanna know since I don't have a firewall anymore.

Subject: FW: Warning...Seriously BAD virus!

FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW, "WTC" STANDS FOR THE WORLD TRADE CENTER WHICH MAKES THIS VIRUS REALLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL OPEN IT RIGHT AWAY THINKING ITS A STORY RELATING TO 9/11. PLEASE BE CAREFUL.

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. If you receive an email called "WTC Survivor" do not open it. Delete it right away! This virus removes all dynamic link libraries (.dll files) from your computer.

Hoax, and a bad one at that. Taking advantage of a horrible situation for a little grins & giggles...

What I figured.....this usually gives it away:

"Forward this to everyone in your address book. I would rather receive this 25 times than not at all."


Thanks.....
