this is not a VMK scam or anything, just a warning for those who did not know.



Extremely Important - NO JOKE
During the next several weeks be VERY cautious about opening
or launching any e-mails that refer to the World Trade
Center or 9/11 in any way, regardless of who sent it. PLEASE
FORWARD TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T
KNOW, "WTC" STANDS FOR THE WORLD TRADE CENTER. REALLY
DANGEROUS BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL OPEN IT RIGHT AWAY, THINKING !
IT'S A STORY RELATING TO 9/11!
BIGGGG TROUBLE !!!! DO NOT OPEN "WTC Survivor " 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 and warned me
before I opened it. He was not so lucky and now he can't
even start his computer!
Forward this to everyone in your address book. I would
rather receive this 25 times than not at all. So, if you
receive an email called "WTC Survivor", do not open it.
Delete it right away! This virus removes all dynamic link
libraries (all files) from your computer.

well you are all my friends and i don't want this to happen to you.

Nowadays it's hard to know when email's warning about viruses are real. I checked this out on Snopes.com(Urban Legend Website) and it says that the "WTC Survivor" virus is a hoax. So, no need to worry. :)
