A friend, The Chief Abbot (not his real name) has just sent me an email entitled "Fwd: READ ASAP - VERY IMPORTANT" which contains dire warnings about emails entitled "WTC SURVIVOR". According to SOPHOS ANTI-VIRUS, "WTC SURVIVOR" is a hoax.
This email first started to circulate in (can you guess..?) September, 2001, and one had just arrived in my Inbox today. There NEVER WAS a "WTC SURVIVOR" Virus, but the hoax lives on !
Remember, the warning IS the virus ... ANY email that asks you to forward it on is a HOAX, even if it is a warning about a VIRUS !! Everyone seems to feel that it is better to send it on, not realizing that millions of other people are doing the same thing !!
REMEMBER, TO ERR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION, YOU DO NOT FORWARD THE EMAIL!
Scroll towards the bottom of my Links column, on your right, and you will see the List of Top 10 Virus Hoaxes.
