Microsoft never get involved in any Virus classification! This was designed to overload the email system at the time it was released. Back then the system was more prone to fall over if mass mailing happened!

Also, if the "virus" cleared the PC hard drive, the data they are trying to retrieve would also be destroyed! Much better to plant a virus that will log key strokes that you make and hide it!!

Whilst most will appreciate the post as a genuine desire to help, it is always worth checking on hoax websites before firing it off to the 400 friends in your address book...

Good luck and thanks anyway

Ah well, at least it wasnt a thread warning scientific instatutions that you will personally cut there balls of with a rusty teaspoon if they dare to look at the pictures on your profile between the hours of 1.23 am and 5.42am when the moon is waining, or whatever the hell that warning is meant to acheive,

Which I suspected from the title.

Let's face it, internet viruses, particularly MSN ones, have been rife for some time and you gotta be a bit of a donut if you click a link that says 'Come and see my holiday pics' from a person you don't even know.

General rule of thumb:

Don't click any link on MSN, Yahoo etc that has been sent unexpectedly. Even if you know the person.

Was going to say exactly the same, I mean who opens these things anyway? Just have your filters set to only recieve messages from your contacts and you should never really have a problem.

Obviously sometimes your idiot friends let someone hack into their e-mail and send you nasty stuff, but even that is obvious to spot...

Reminds me of when "mother" finally got on line.

Told her not to click on any pop ups...

Well like a kid in a candy store (and how do you think i managed that advice.???) She did!!!

With a 12 year old daugher - and her main screen with a big open pussy with a little dick .....

Took me hours on my nightshifts, and good friends who work in IT to sort it out..lol

But even after that - i went thru her programs - and there were still 3 installled programs from them there POP ups. And they are legal.

This is a nonsense we're closing this thread and any other similar threads will be removed

Always checkout snopes.com if something seems to good (or bad) to be true.
