Hi, gang,
The full moon must have hit, because the old internet virus stories are out
again! NONE of these are true. You can't get a virus from downloading
email (you can from a WWW page, if your browser allows Java or Activex
scripts to execute without warning you). Here are some of the common
internet hoaxes to ignore:
> - "GOOD TIMES" virus and other warnings about email viruses
> - Craig Shergold (many different spellings) needing business
> cards, post cards, etc., so he can break a record before he
> dies of cancer [this is a biggie]
> - the Neiman Marcus $250 Cookie Recipe Story
> - LSD on cartoon stickers
> - Pretty much everything you read about Richard Gere
> - " " " " " " Disney (Except being linked with
Nestle)
> - Organ thievery (waking up without kidneys)
> - Woman/peanut butter/dog/surprise party (I hear this one all
> the time)
> - Vacation/thief/toothbrush
> - Wedding with photos of best-man and bride
Here's a sample of the "Mail-Bomb" hoax:
>DO NOT WHATEVER YOU DO OPEN ANY MAIL FROM DRUMMR1001 OR HIGHMAGE00
>THIS IS A SELF DOWNLOADING VIRUS AND WILL EAT YOUR HARD DRIVE AND GET YOUR
>AOL PASSWORD AND YOU CAN NOT CHANGE IT PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL...DELETE ALL
>MAIL FROM EITHER OF THESE PEOPLE BEFORE YOU READ IT!!!!
> SEND THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW ONLINE
Sorry for beating a dead horse - - -
