[SFDXA] [FCG] VERY URGENT-- PLEASE CIRCULATE

[w1md at cfl.rr.com]

Folks,


Please take 'just five minutes' and do a little research before passing on things of this ilk. From McAfee's own website...listed under virus hoaxes...

Most of the time the "virus" becomes everyone forwarding this type of information...just in case.

No offense toward you Pete...but if you have the access to e-mail then you have access to GOOGLE and within a few minutes should be able to ascertain whether this is real or not.

Take a few extra minutes and verify before forwarding.

73,

Marty

VERY  URGENT!!! PLEASE  CIRCULATE to   your friends, family and   contacts. 
In the  coming days, DO  NOT  open any message  with an attachment called: 
BLACK  MUSLIM IN THE WHITE HOUSE , regardless  of who sent it to you.  It is 
a virus that  opens an Olympics torch that burns the whole hard  disk C of 
your computer.  This virus  comes from a known person who you have in your 
list.  Directions:   You should send this message to all of your  contacts. 
It is better to receive this e-mail  25 times than to receive the virus and 
open  it.  If you receive a message called  BLACK MUSLIM  IN THE WHITE HOUSE 
even   if sent by a friend, do not open, and shut down your  machine 
immediately.  It is the worst virus  announced by CNN.  This  new virus has 
been discovered recently it  has been classified by Microsoft as the virus 
most  destructive ever. This  virus was discovered yesterday afternoon by 
McAfee..  There is no repair yet for this kind  of virus.  This virus simply 
destroys the Zero  Sector of the hard disk, where vital information 
function is stored. SP
