Don't be inconsiderate; send this warning to whomever you know.

If you get an email along the lines of "Osama Bin Laden Captured" or "Osama Hanged" don't open the attachment.

You will get about 5 people to believe you...http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/osama.asp

It no longer poses any threat, and can be removed with decent antivirus programs.

I just get this ****, and I pass it on. I rarely have any trouble determining whether or not to open ****.

Remember one thing JAW, not all people here are as switched on as Espresso Latte JAW.

I get so much **** emails, I'm surprised my delete button isn't worn out. I love the ones where I get stock tips from total strangers. As if I would take a stock tip from a stranger through email. Then of course there are the ones where I have left millions in an account in Nigeria or someone has left me millions in a will etc.
I typically write back that I hope they die a slow death and rot in hell fire eternal for trying to cheat people.

One thing I NEVER do is open attachments. If I see they have attachments I delete them before reading them. I rarely get those. Just the ones where I have won a lottery I NEVER entered. I am getting pretty creative with my responses.

Right on with snopes. Thats always the first place i check when i get a warning letter about something. Helps to be informed!!! (sorry builder i know you were trying to do the right thing) but most people just pass info on and scare people without researching it themselvs....... So this is a good lesson...snopes does a great job to check the facts and let us know the truth....

Hell i wish they were around when the bible was written

Maybe you should back off visiting all the porn sites.

Oh I love junk mail, I love the ones from banks that I have never heard of saying my account needs action etc, with the nice little virus link on the bottom "saying click here for your account details".
I usually write back with a nice little embedded present for them, most of the time it bounces, but ever now and then one gets through, my favorite is Klez very nice.
But if you are tired of junk mail swap to thunderbird for you emails and firefox for you web browser

http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/
http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/

PS also if you want to know where someone is located

There are also a few for tracking someone via emails, giving you not only there local exchange, but also there ip, which in turn can be traced, this works even if someone is using a firewall and is running in stealth mode, mainly because when someone recieves an email, the firewall opens the port, enabling the trace.
Have fun.

We had an alert on an email that if it had an attachment that said "invitation" it would fry your whole c: drive. Right! LOL
It told you to send the warning to as many people as you could. It said that would be better getting ten messages not to open this than getting the virus. It was another hoax.
Before you fall for a hoax the best bet is to Google up some web sites that will tell you its a hoax. like:

http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/hoax.html

http://vil.mcafee.com/hoax.asp

http://www.f-secure.com/virus-info/hoax/


just to name a few. I bet there are more hoaxes than real viruses out there.

I love the chain letters hehe, another hippy thing I'm still dealing with

 

[jokersarewild]

What'd be funny is something like:

"If you open the "Jesus loves you" email, you get a bright light on your computer screen that will not go away. You will never be able to do any work, since you will not be able to see the screen.

However, you will also get an annoying message everytime you shutdown windows, which says "I am the Lord. Thou shalt not shut me down." It will prevent you from shutting your computer down, and will melt your power cord to your power supply, preventing you from turning your computer off."

I would download that virus just to see how it worked.

Yeah and you know what everyone??? If you get an email with the subject line "Bad Times", then the virus will:
1. Download itself
2. Force your processor to run an infinite binary loop thus causing your computer to EXPLODE
3. Make obscene calls to your boss
4. Pour kool-aid in your fishtank
5. Mismatch all of the socks in your sockdrawer
6. De-magnetize your credit cards

And that's just the start.

It will also proceed to:

7. Swear at you if you have a sound card.
8. Call your mother every Sunday spouting long strings of cusswords.
9. Copy bestiality porn onto your hard drive.
10. If you have a network card, it will copy bestiality porn onto the hard drives of everyone on your network.
11. Cause your glass to be half empty...

Interesting you point the finger at me for derailing a thread and then regurgitate bullshit like this...LOOK IN THE MIRROR next time you want to fall in the floor and have another temper tantrum about me. Here in the US we call it projection.
