Here’s something I don’t understand: People who send “virus warning” chain emails. These emails apparently warn you of a circulating computer virus and ask you to “pass it on immediately!” So these emails circulate — most likely endlessly, even after this virus (if it’s even real) is eradicated. They are chain emails and have no integrity.
This information arrived this morning direct from both Microsoft and Norton.
You may receive an apparently harmless email with a Power Point presentation “Life is beautiful.” If you receive it, DO NOT OPEN THE FILE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, and delete it immediately. If you open this file, a message
will appear on your screen saying: “It is too late now, your life is no
longer beautiful.”Subsequently you will LOSE EVERYTHING IN YOUR PC and
the person who sent it to you will gain access to your name, e-mail
and password.
BS. This has been circulating since 2002 (Snopes).People that fall for this probably fall for the Nigerian scams as well. Here’s one that someone just posted on Facebook. How sad.
READ. Don’t just skim over.
Hello, I thought I would pass on an email I rec’d today from a friend:
If some person with the email address bum_tnoo@hotmail.com wants to add you as a friend - do not accept it because he is a hacker. Tell everyone on your list because if anyone accepts him/her then you get them on your list and he/she will figure out your ID, computer address, so copy and paste this message to everyone and fast because if he hacks their emails he is hacking your mail for Facebook as well.
Somehow I think the person that wrote this is smiling, seeing it posted everywhere by gullible people.
