    What are you doing in charge of a PC if you're believing in this bullshit for a start. You can tell it's a fake by the way that email sounds. It's like the "I live in Zimbabwe and I own a diamond mine..." type emails.

    My wife isn't the sharpest tool in the shed and I don't even think she would fall for this one. I sure as hell can't believe that your teachers at your school are stupid enough to.
    The first thing I do when I get an email from somebody about a supposed virus is go to www.symantec.com and do a search for the particular virus.When I find the info I need I decide what to do.If it is actually a virus,I do whatever it says to do to protect my PC.If it is a Hoax I do nothing.I may call a couple relatives or the friends who sent it to me and let them know it is BS but I never send an email back to the people that the email has been forwarded to.If you do this you are just sending a bunch of unneaded emails ,exactly what the creator of the hoax wants you to do.

    but no virus can destroy hardware
    That&#39;s not entirely true. There have been some viri that corrupt CMOS data so in effect kill motherboards.

    I know that CMOS chips can be replaced but that sometimes becomes not worthwhile if you think about costs, shipping, time and what newer boards have to offer. Its easier to replace such a motherboard. [/b][/quote]
    Have heard of virus&#39;s that attack the BIOS rendering your motherboard useless as well.
