SUBJECT: WARNING!!!! VERY 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

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

Decent Anti-Virus Software and not opening Attachments unless i know exactly what they are also stop this sort of thing, reminds me of the time my sister sent me an email saying you need to delete the little teddybear in the windows directory, phoned her up and said why its the java-debugger or simular and told it aint a virus, she then had to get in touch with all the folks sheŽd contacted saying dont delete the teddybear. :woot: :whistle:
