SEPT. 11 COMPUTER VIRUS ALERT

Company Tech department ^ | 9/11/02 | self

ALERT - THIS NOTICE WAS RECEIVED FROM MY HUSBAND'S INTERNATIONAL COMPANY'S TECH. DEPARTMENT. THEY ARE VERY RELIABLE ABOUT VIRUS ALERTS:

Unfortunately, someone has used the terror attacks of Sept 11, to lure victims of a new email worm.

The subject line will be the following: "All people" and appears to be from "main@world.com."

There is an Sept11.exe attachment. It claims to have pictures as new evidence of the 911 attacks, but there is nothing to see. Please be aware at your home machines, and if you check email outside of Company email (ie, Hotmail, AOL etc),

Don't open the attachement and delete the message.

[Ditto]

For your convenience, and to make letter less, all documentary materials (photos and MS Word documents) are located in one EXE file. Open it, and all materials will be installed on your computer.

This bate should catch a lot of fish over at DU.com. LOL

Uh, more bad news...some aol "homepages" have a virus imbedded within jpegs on the pages...my wife just told me about this, but didn't get me the virus name...

[Billthedrill]

Dang it. The letter said "naked truth" and I thought it was just one of my usual morning JPG downloads...

You can always go to www.truthorfiction.com. They keep up on urban legends, hoaxes or even true stuff.

Does this affect Mac users?

[Bogey78O]

So should I click and open every email to be fair or should I delete every 11th email just to be safe.

Wouldn't want to appear prejudice.

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

Agreed Norton auto LIVEUPDATE IS the best for your money and worth every cent IMO.

[PoorMuttly]

I oppugn your worm.

[PoorMuttly]

Wait a minute. I've got Mr. Darwin on the phone..he'll settle this thing for us...

...he put me on hold
