I received this message

person in your address book.

If you receive and e-mail that reads
"UPGRADE INTERNET2", do not open it as it
contains an executable named "PERRIN.EXE". It

particular virus.

Please, forward this information to your friends
(and enemies, as well), so that they will be on
the alert.

Also check the list below, sent by IBM, with the
names of some e-mails that, if received, should
not be opened and must be deleted immediately,
because they contain attached viruses. This way,
your computer will be safe. The titles are:

This isn't a virus, it's a new worm called "col clink.nntp" and there IS
a cure :
Don't click it, and if you accidentially did, don't follow its advices.
Don't reply if you received it.

This worm does not harm your computer but it tries in a not too
intelligent way to flood the web with junk.
If you follow its advices it will send itself to everyone in your adress
book.

This is a pretty old hoax.

lol Ananas. :)

Col, you need to learn that most of us know when a virus is a virus. They're
not too hard to distinguish. And just because you posted in the newsgroup
does NOT mean we're all getting a virus. I don't know of any viruses that go
around through newsgroups, do you? If you knew so much about viruses, you
would know to email all the people you have emailed to lately and who are on
your address book, not to an AW-RELATED newsgroup. :)

Okay, maybe Col Wank won't understand my previous message. So let's put it
in easier to understand terms. Dammit you idiot, stop being so paranoid
about virii. Half of em are hoaxes, including most of the ones you listed. I
don't run a firewall, I don't run antivirus software, I don't get hacked,
nor do I get any virii. However, so you shut the HELL up, get a firewall and
get a copy of norton antivirus and update it daily. Then you'll never get
anything, and it's our own fault if we do.

OMG I heard about this, you know i was looking through the net and I went to
www.viruses.com/hoax.html and I found Col Klinks name there saying "This is
not a virus, this is some guy who thinks that he can use the newsgroups to
scare everyone", thanks for your time, Col Klink, if you do this again, its
going to be a report to AWCOM.

hehe... I bet you if you scanned your hard drive for a virus right now
you'd find one.... :)

It is considered bad luck to call yourself immune to viruses without any
protection.

It might be there but it obviously isn't doing a damn thing, nor is it
distributing itself to my address book (or Roland, AFM [Not a bad thing
there], Jessie, Nate, and half a million other people would know about it).
Never heard of a virus that does nothing (mostly because as it does nothing,
nobody ever notices). Oh well, maybe out of curiosity I'll scan one day. If
I get REALLY bored

[View Quote] happy99 did, iirc. Not sure though. You had to execute it yourself anyway.


Anyway, so called "virus warnings" asking you to spread the word about a
virus that has no known cure yet are just glorified chain letters. They
usually do more damage than the virus itself, if it already exists.

I manually scan everything I download just to be sure. Never found anything
(but that doesn't mean I'll never find anything so I keep scanning). The
only virii I ever saw were those things mailed to me, like happy99 and
ILOVEYOU. But stuff like that is suspicious enough to be warned that
something is wrong the first time you see it.
