Guest guest Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 When receiving these warnings it's always good to go to hoaxbusters or urban legends or some such(or just do a google for " Internet hoaxes " and take yr pick) and see if the warning in question has already been flagged. In this case, it has, as you can see at these links below. Checking first saves bandwidth and stops these wannabe virus spams. http://urbanlegends.about.com/cs/virushoaxes/index.htm or http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org/HBMalCode.shtml#beautiful And now for something a little more funny, something you can save and send along to anyone who might send you 'stuff'. It's a Flash funbreak about chain letters and such. http://www.smilepop.com/index.cfm?action=viewcard & content_id=8407 & page_id=84 07 your friend, anna nimous > All you PC users..... > > Kelly D.
