Thanks for that dotlizard – it nicely sums up why computer viruses are such a big problem still.

Its not so much the machines or the software is it… its the foolish people who use them

LOL!

Reminds me of way, way back in the day, a guy sent out a joke email to AOL users, telling them they had a virus that was preventing them from using their upper intelligence registers. It gave detailed instructions on how to find and delete their aol.exe file, and promised if they did that it would allow their IQ to go over 85.

The email “virus warning” went quite viral, and an astonishing number of people fell for it (see “gullibility virus”).

I have been watching this thread intently and am glad to see my virus has finally tricked some hapless fool.

Bobby Revell, the man who made Eddie Van Halen’s guitars, goes down as the world’s first victim of the angola-marburg.help virus.

Now sir please to send these instructions to all of your friends via email.

You will of course need to find an alternative computer because you have wiped your hard drive.

Ok…I formatted my hard drive, what do I do next? Am I doing everything right to fully comply?
