Thanks for the warning about the virus!
can you guys please read rest of the replies then say thanks for the warning, there is no such a virus its all hoax.
Better still. A mod can just delete the thread as it does not serve the purpose for which it was intended.:)
or title it as Hoax: and move it to some other section so some noobs dont panic once they get the news.
i dont think it should be deleted, it's an important lesson for those gullible enough to be taken in by virus hoax emails.
Did it catch you too.:whistlingQuote:

It's actually getting as bad as spam now and could be solved by people just doing a bit of thinking.
Here's your first clue, there's normally loads of exclamation marks.
Here's your second, it tells you to forward it to everyone you know.
Here's your third, it claims not to be spam.
Here's your fourth, it claims to be verified by either MS, or Symantec or Macafee or somesuch authority.
This one is particularly stupid tho', when it said your boot sector was going to be fecked, your hard drive irreparably damaged and they would take over your computer. Well if you bothered to read the material in the linked site.
damn... that sux.
