Anybody heard of this virus yet?
No?
I'm letting you know now then. If you get an email with the above title as the subject, DELETE IT! This new virus, according to CNN, is the most dangerous yet. When you open the mail, your system crashes, forcing you to reboot. When you do, your hard drive is well and truly knacked. It deletes sector zero of your hard drive (or does something to it at least).
Even if the message is from someone you know, get rid of it as it uses peoples address books to circulate.
McAfee discovered it, so there may be some more info on there.
p.s. As yet, there is no cure for it. So beware!

So it was! You never know - it may have resurfaced for real. I'll still be alert when looking at my Inboxes though.

Turns out it was a hoax. But our e-mail system at work went crazy with everyone telling everyone else.
Although I may seem like a plonker now, you must agree it's better to be safe than sorry etc etc.
Feel free to give me a 'Virtual Kicking'! :p

Thankyou for the heads-up Bullet my good man. It may be a hoax but you must never take chances with these things.
