Virus Alert :Disgusting!

A new email virus, mascarading as a vote for peace:

Quote:

The virus appears with the subject line: ``Peace between America and Islam!'' and the body of the e-mail reads: ``Hi. Is it a war against America or Islam!? Let's vote to live in peace!'' Perry said.

When the attachment entitled ``WTC.exe'' is opened, the virus deletes all the files on the computer's hard drive and sends copies of the e-mail to every address listed in the computer's address book, he said.

Talk about cynical exploitation, eh?

I keep reminding myself....never open attachments I'm not expecting. Sigh....

Yes, I heard about this on the radio news here in the UK on my way to work this morning.

Everybody needs to be extra vigilante when opening Emails, it sounds like a nasty piece of work.

I'm with u Rachel, I never open unexpected attachments.

:idea: Try letting your anti virus Techs. know about that one.

It might save someone else from having a major crash to their system.
