Hi Folks,
I just received another well meaning e-mail message from a friend who heard of one of those, "If you receive an e-mail titled (and there is some title or other) DO NOT OPEN IT. IT WILL ERASE YOUR ENTIRE HARD DRIVE!" Everyone who reads this message, please copy the following URL into your BOOKMARKS or FAVORITES file for future reference. Then, if you get one of these warning messages from a friend or acquaintance, go to the web site at this address and get the straight dope BEFORE you send a carbon copy of the warning to all of YOUR friend and acquaintances. The URL is: http://www.av.ibm.com/breakingnews/HypeAlert/
Browse the site and find out why these warnings are rediculous and what makes them a hoax.
Cheers, Lee Shake
