WARNING - Threatning Virus In emails

:
Originally posted in the P2prensense Forums
The following written below is very important, it has been released before, but has now been released again.

VERY IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ


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 that don't know, 'WTC' stands for the World Trade Center.
This is very dangerous because people will open it right away,
thinking
it's a story relating to 9-11.

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.
Dont open any email containing anything to do with the WTC attack.

Thankyou
Munch 007

"Why do you have to quote others when you can quote yourself?" (Quote by me)
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God.
You see things, and you say 'why'. But i dream things that never were and i say 'why not'.

This sounds a lot like a hoax to me. I'll stay away from WTC e mails,but honestly, this has a suspicious ring of phoniness to it to me. I'll check it on Sophos to see if its the real mccoy or not.

My email address quarantines suspicious mail. And I can view it in the safe guarded area. Thus I never receive bad email spam or anything of the sort. *knocks on wood* Anyways I would stay away from it anyways.

Yes, and it adds numerous amounts of <br /> tags into the database! You are creating extra slow times on the server!

Actually they won't matter much. But I think people are used to having gaps if there is a spoiler.

Or you could use this method I like:

SPOILER!
