VIRUS ALERT!!!

[Rainscents]

VERY IMPORTANT - DO NOT DELETE


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 DANGEROUS BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL OPEN IT RIGHT AWAY, THINKING ITS A
STORY RELATI! NG TO 9/ 11!

BIGGGG TROUBLE !!!! 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 dynamic link
libraries (.dll files)! from your computer.

7. The fact that it tells you to

forward it to anyone and everyone you know. . . means it's SPAM. If you choose to pass anything (even warnings) on to other people, you should use the BCC option, this way the people receiving it can't see who else you sent it to. It keeps you and those you know safe, even if you do something boneheaded, like forwarding a false warning.

Look out for the rapeseed oil hoax, and others about spiders hiding in toilet rims. There are thousands of these floating around out there.
