Warning Of A Real Bad Virus

[beandip]

There is a vary bad virus going around that is addressed to you from a friend and it starts with WTC or has that in the heading . It will be from one of your friends that has been infected. Dont open it , WTC stands for world trade center , what the virus does is attack the hard drive and dumps everything on all drives and sends a message to all address in your address book. So when they open the e-mail they are infected also. You wont even be able to start your computer if infected. I just got word of it and wanted to pass it on to as many people as possable. Good luck Always remember 9/11 Someone stated that this is not true . If that is the case I am sorry if I have passed on something untrue, however I would rather be careful than sorry I opened the virus into my computer.

Don't use MS Outlook as a mail client and you generally don't have to worry about these things. Better yet, don't use a MS OS, and you're better off still.

There is a trick that won't stop a virus but,will stop the spread.1st-open your address book and click new person/contact,like you do when adding a new friend to your email.2nd-In the window where you put the first name enter !000(exclamation and 3 zero's) Email address=WormAlert.The software may respond that the address is invalid or such but just continue.3rd-click add and OK.Now !000 will be the first(top)address.If you get a virus,it will try to send itself to !000 first.It will fail andstop then send you a message that reads"WormAlert could not be delievered"You now know you have a virus but your friends are safe.It also gives piece of mind cause when hoax's come around you don't delete something that was not a virus.
