You know those things are truly insidious. They make people distrust virus warnings. When I get a virus from someone and I can trace its route. I always email the person and let them know. I was getting Klez (14 variants in 1 day) from someone I didn't know, so I emailed him and I emailed his ISP. But things like this will cause people to disregard real warnings. Why oh why is this world so full of idiots and jerks. People that get a sadistic joy out of hurting others and others stuff really just piss me off.


Trys to chill and relax to some sunshine as that is what I can afford..........

I get these quite often. ALWAYS check them first through either McAfee.com or Antivirus.com.

You've gotta luv these honor-system viruses. They don't really do any damage, they're counting on you to commit your own damage ... hoping that you'll commit a self-inflicted act of stupidity .... er ... virucide....

WarCon was right -- these bogus warning will eventually become like the little boy that cried wolf...
