9/11 emails or wtc! please read!

[hooker]

During the next several weeks be VERY cautious about opening or
launching any e-mails that refer to the World Trade Centre 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 CENTRE. REALLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL OPEN IT RIGHT AWAY, THINKING ITS A STORY RELATING TO 9/11!
BIG 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 (.dll files) from your computer.
PLEASE FORWARD THIS MESSAGE!


just forwarding this on

Didn't this go around last year at about the same time?

I was wondering when this would get posted, I had my first email about a week ago.

Rule of thumb - if you get a notification of an email virus from any other source than your virus software supplier just do a simple google search first before you worry

changing the subject slightly...

...theres a decent looking 4-part documantary thing on the National Geography Channel starting this sunday at 9pm, about events leading upto 9/11, looks pretty interesting.

that is all

Hoax, but even if it isn't...

Webmail. Not using Outlook Express. Pick one. Fixes any of these problems.

Anyway. Never, EVER forward on any "warnings" about viruses, worms, etc. They are -always- hoaxes. Always.
