BIGGGGGG TROUBLE !!!!! DO NOT OPEN "WTC Survivor"

It is a virus that will erase your whole "C" drive (hard disk). 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.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS MESSAGE

Top Tips for spotting a hoax virus warning:

1) something like: microsoft and norton both confirmed this this morning...blah blah blah...have a look at their websites. ususally they have a bit for recent viruses (virii?)

2) This virus will break your hard drive.....what shit...SOFTWARE CAN NOT DAMAGE HARDWARE!! ie a program on your computer cant damage something in your computer that you can touch..

3) Pleae forward this email to all your friends.....dont even bother...this is how virus hoaxes are spread..it just pisses everyone off.

thanks..

**NEWS JUST IN**

READ THIS IMMEDIATELY AND PASS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW.

Someone is sending out a very cute screensaver of the Budweiser Frogs.

If you download it, you will lose everything.
Your hard drive will crash and someone from the Internet will get your screen name and possibly company passwords.

*DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES*

It just went into circulation yesterday.
Please distribute this Message.
This is a new, very malicious virus.

This information was announced yesterday morning from Microsoft.
Please share it with everyone that might access the Internet.

Once again,
Pass This Along To EVERYONE in your address book so that this may be stopped.
AOL has said that this is a very dangerous virus
and that there is NO remedy for it at this time.

LOL
