Well spotted Merv.....

The old ones are always the best , Anything that advises you to "Let everyone in your address book know about this terrible virus" Is full of crap..... These things tend to do the rounds on a 6 monthly basis it seems

Hi Mervinh Sorry if i wasted your time ,I recivied an email from a good friend in Newcastle and i do not think he would waste his time sending me a message if he did not think it was serious.In future if you see a posting by me just ignore it.Francis

You'll find that 99.99999% of virii warnings sent via email are hoaxes...

Best warning I ever had though was about the HONOUR VIRUS that asked you politely if you could format your own C drive

At the end of the day if you always play it safe and delete those messages that you you do not recognise the sender your data will be safe, Your mate is not on his own in getting duped by these hoaxs, I work in a support role and get sent warnings all the time
