Notice: This Virus is a hoax

FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW, "WTC" STANDS FOR THE WORLD TRADE CENTER
........WHICH MAKES THIS VIRUS REALLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL
OPEN IT RIGHT AWAY.....THINKING ITS A STORY RELATING TO 9/11.....PLEASE
BE CAREFUL.......

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. If you receive an E-mail called "WTC Survivor"
do not open
it.
Delete it right away! This virus removes all dynamic link libraries
(.dll files) from
your computer.Get more from the Web. FREE MSN Explorer download :

Maybe I should verify the information before posting this stuff. Sorry. I guess it worked. We go hit really bad with that Nimbda virus and I think we tend to overreact because of it.

Nothing wrong with posting information. At least we know now when we see it it's a hoax. I have to investigate all of those hoax's and legit virui at work. That's one I'll know about and not have to work on gathering information on. Helped me out.

Thanks. I have my busy times. The last two weeks 4 managers and a director were terminated. I got a new boss and there is something else in the air. A lot of politcal crap.....
