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).

Michael
