VERY IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ!

Post by wayne kerr » Wed May 21, 2003 2:51 pm

Sorry, this is off topic, but I just received the following email. It may be a hoax, but then again, it may not...
Very Urgent!!!!!!!...

PASS THIS ON TO ANYONE YOU HAVE AN E-MAIL ADDRESS FOR.

If you receive an email titled: "It Takes Guts to Say
Jesus"
DO NOT OPEN IT. It will erase everything on your hard
drive.
This information was announced yesterday morning from
IBM; AOL states that this is a very dangerous virus,
much worse than
"Melissa," and that there is NO Remedy for it at this
time. Some very sick
individual has succeeded in using the reformat
function from Norton
Utilities
causing it to completely erase all documents on the
hard drive. It has been
designed to work with Netscape Navigator and Microsoft
Internet Explorer. It
destroys Macintosh and IBM compatible computers.

This is a new, very malicious virus and not many
people know about it. Pass
this warning along to EVERYONE in your address book
! and please share it with
all your online friends ASAP so that this threat maybe
stopped. Please
practice cautionary measures and tell anyone that may
have access to your
computer. Forward this warning to everyone that you
know that might access
the Internet.

*snicker*

it's a hoax. please check and see if it's a hoax (it took me all of 5 seconds to find that link) before you post stuff like this to a public board.

edit ps - damn, chicken, I didn't know it was you, or I might have turned down the sarcasm. or maybe not... it did only take me 5 seconds on Google to determine it was a hoax, it certainly takes longer to post it...
