This email you forwarded is a well-known email hoax, i.e. nothing lik this exists out there (in fact this is the 2nd version of this bogus email hoax). http://www.google.com/search?q=%22WTC+Survivor%22 Quoting the standard warning from one of the many available reports: <quote> Many virus hoaxes: ------------------------- [1] falsely claim to describe an extremely dangerous virus [2] use pseudo-technical language to make impressive-sounding (but impossible) claims [3] falsely claim that the report was issued or confirmed by a well-known company [4] ask you to forward it to all your friends and colleagues As usual, you are urged not to pass on warnings of this kind, as the continued re-forwarding of these hoaxes simply wastes time and email bandwidth. Sophos suggests a policy to help prevent hoaxes from spreading in your company. </quote> I am sure that the next time you recv something fishy like this one, you will be able to spot it and realise its a hoax... just Google once, before you hit the SEND button! ;-) All the best. -Indranil Das Gupta /* ------------------------------------------------------------- * Ankur Bangla Project Bringing Bangla to the FLOSS Desktop www.ankurbangla.org * ------------------------------------------------------------- */ _______________________________________________ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
