Re: virus warning

That's why I put up a couple of links - if you type in wtc survivor in google it brings up further search results as well.

I had heard of this before, so I already knew it was a hoax, but you may find it useful to copy and paste some of the text of the warning email into google and see what you come up with.

I tend to do this automatically - you don't tend to get caught out that way.

It reminds me of the 'teddy bear' emails that were going around a couple of years ago - it directed you to delete a file which had an icon that looked like a teddy bear (another one was an 'evil' black icon), which was in fact a Windows System file.

Half of the office where I was working had deleted their files before I could stop them. I spent the next couple of hours repairing the damage!
