| NAME: | New Pictures of Family hoax |
| ALIAS: | Family Pictures hoax |
The below hoax message became widespread in the beginning of
March, 2001.
DO NOT OPEN "NEW PICTURES OF FAMILY" It is a virus that will
erase your whole "C" drive. It will come to you in the form of
an E-Mail from a familiar person. I repeat a friend sent it to
me, but called & warned me before I opened it. He was not so
lucky and now he cant even start his computer! Forward this to
everyone in your address book. I would rather receive this 25
times than not at all.
Also: Intel announced that a new and very destructive virus was
discovered recently. If you receive an email called "FAMILY
PICTURES," do not open it. Delete it right away! This virus
removes all dynamic link libraries (.all files) from your
computer. Your computer will not be able to boot up.
A described malware doesn't exist, so if you receive this or
alike message, please ignore it and don't pass it on.
