This virus was discovered by McAfee yesterday, and there is no repair yet for this kind of virus. virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where the vital informationis kept.* *COPY THIS, AND SEND IT TO YOUR FRIENDS. REMEMBER: IF YOU SEND IT TO THEM, YOU WILL BENEFIT ALL OF US |

About time someone thought of doing that. It's a good thing I'm not a hacker. It's horribly easy to destroy someones computer for good with some simple code.

Well, clearly someone isn't doing their job right if it's not destroying more computers. I think hackers are slacking these days.

Meh....when I get mail from people whose names I don't recognize (and usually, they're titled with "Hi" or "Hey" or some other such nonsense), I just immediately click them as spam without even bothering reading them.

*copy this, then jump off a bridge, you will benefit all of us. FOR HEAVEN SAKES PEOPLE. IF SOMEONE HAS TO TELL YOU TO COPY SOMETHING AND SEND IT TO YOUR FRIENDS, IT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT IMPORTANT ENOUGH FOR YOU TO COPY AND SEND TO YOUR FRIENDS. STOP LISTENING TO IT |

When are people going to figure out that the best way to avoid getting a virus through an email is to simply not open emails from people you don't know???
