RE: bad ass virus
Thu, 20 Jan 2000, 01:25 pmWatch for the following characteristics:
- appeals to some authority (our IT section, IBM or micro$oft)
- warns of dire consequences (will invite your mother-in-law to stay)
- urges you to forward on to everyone you know immediately
When a Real Alert comes through (rare but they do) look for OFFICIAL Signature Text Endings and Official Contact Numbers or Links to Web Sites such as McAfee or Microsoft that provide the FULL STORY.
If the Posting has none of these, be suspicious. Very Suspicious.
