Look out for attachments when checking mail.

That was my point or your computer will crash.

Um... according to snopes, while this virus (trojan horse) is real, it's mild, easily removed, and actually quite outdated.

Yeah I know, thanks. The part about the virus physically destroying people's computers just sounded a bit sci-fi to me...

These emails are started by losers who don't know how to create a virus, so they type up crap like this.. I like how they always say it was reported on CNN.. but never include a link to CNN.com??

Well if I thought it was CRAP!  I would have not bothered to post it.

I just wanna know why the hell someone would sit around spreading viruses.  I'll never understand it.

Seriously though, I never pay attention to those e-mails. Turns out this one is true (albeit outdated) but SO many of those things are total chain letter style scams... they're almost as bad as the people who post bulletins on MySpace from "Tom" telling us: "Hey if you don't forward this message in 30 seconds i'mz gonna shut downz da site lol" and people actually believe it when they read it.
