From a system administrator (ME) : do NOT pass virus alerts to everybody, most of them are hoaxes (false alerts). Contact your local system administrator/operator/helpdesk/guru, whatever, but do not spread the world with an alert. 80% of email viruses alert are false (personnal data ;-)).
Here's the best one :
If you receive an e-mail with a subject line of "Badtimes," delete it immediately WITHOUT reading it.
This is the most dangerous E-mail virus yet.
It will completely re-write your hard drive. Not only that, but it will scramble any disks that are even close to your computer.
It also demagnetizes the strips on all your credit cards, reprograms your ATM access code, messes up the tracking on your VCR and uses subspace field
harmonics to scratch any CDs you try to play.
It will recalibrate your refrigerator's coolness setting so all your ice cream melts and your milk curdles.
It will give your ex-boy/girlfriend your new phone number.
This virus will mix antifreeze into your fish tank.
It will drink all your soda and leave dirty socks on the coffee table when you are expecting company.
It will hide your car keys when you are late for work and interfere with your car radio so that you hear only static while stuck in traffic.
When executed "Badtimes" will also give you nightmares about circus midgets.
It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine.
--"Badtimes" will give you Dutch Elm disease and brown patch.
If the "Badtimes" mail message is opened in a Windows 95 environment it will leave the toilet seat up and leave your hairdryer plugged in dangerously
close to a full bathtub.
It will not only remove the forbidden tags from your mattresses and pillows, but it will also refill your skim milk with whole milk.
It is insidious and subtle.
It is dangerous and terrifying to behold.
It is also a rather interesting shade of mauve.
These are just a few signs.
Be afraid. Be very, very afraid.
Keep on riding your @ (it just stops rainning on Brussels).
