A Virus Called "Funny"
Many of you have received a message allegedly from me with the subject
"Funny." This message turned out to be a virus. I did not send it. I
opened it, not knowing that it was a virus, and it sent itself to victims in
my contact list and to victims whose email address I never had and then
deleted itself. If you ever receive a message with the subject "Funny"
DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!!!!!! You should already have antivirus
software on your computer. If you don't, get it ASAP. Then scan you hard
drive(s) regularly. I don't know what effect it has on computers other than
to send itself to members of an MS Outlook address book. Norton Antivirus
quarantined the virus on my computer and I do not seem to be having any
other problems. Still, I'm notifying SARC (Symantec Antivirus Research
Center) about it. If you have a network administrator, notify them
immediately.
I apologize for any problems this virus has caused you.
