Hello
Bruce,
If
this is from you, I guess well intentioned, but it may well not be from you,
Either way it is best not to circulate these messages, just delete, they are
rubbish. At least not without taking a minute to check. It is, as with
most such messages, a obvious nonsense and an old one at that. Just by copying
in BLACK MUSLIM IN THE WHITE HOUSE into
google, I immediately get this advice.
See
this:
Outline
Message
warns that an email attachment named "Black Muslim in the White House" or "Black
in the White House" contains a damaging computer virus that can destroy the hard
drive of the infected computer.
Brief Analysis
The
claims in the warning are false. There is no virus that has the characteristics
described in the message. The message is just another version of a long running
hoax warning that has been circulating for a number of years.
Relayed by my brother, a
retired Telstra executive, from another ex-Telstra
colleague.
Subject: VERY URGENT PLEASE CIRCULATE,, (167RA)
In the coming days, DO NOT open any
message regardless of who sent it to you with an
attachment called: BLACK MUSLIM IN THE WHITE
HOUSE.
It is a virus that opens an Olympics torch that burns
the whole hard disk of your computer.
Directions:
You should send this message to all of your contacts. It
is better to receive this e-mail 2 dozen times than to receive
the virus and open it.
If you receive a message called BLACK
MUSLIM IN THE WHITE HOUSE even if sent by a friend, do not
open and shut down your machine immediately.
It is the
worst virus ever announced by CNN. it has been classified
by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever. This virus was
discovered yesterday afternoon by
McAfee.
There is no repair yet for this kind of
virus. This virus destroys the Zero Sector of your hard disk,
where vital information function is
stored.
