Just recieved a warning not to open any emails with a World trade center title, or 911. It may come under the heading WTC survivor.
It is a virus that may knock ure system out totally. It will I have been told wipe the 'C' drive.
It removes all dynamic link libraries (.dll files) from your computer.
How true this is I do not know as i am by no-means a computer buff. If you do believe this then please inform friends and family.
Regards Chris

Hi Chris im not sure if this is a hoax you can check up by putting in a virus search in your search engines this tells you of all the viruses going around at the moment. As with all email esp them with attacments in them you have to be warey of the content and if you dont know who its off then delete it before opening it. have alook at this

It's a really old hoax.

It's always best to check these 'warnings'on one of the reputable
anti-virus sites - Sophos, Symantec, McAfee etc. In this case the hoax
spreads just like a virus..

After seeing so many of these kind of emails over the years I can spot them a mile off now.

"AOL said"
"IBM classified it as the worst virus ever seen"
"Microsoft says there is no known cure"
