New virus!!

um, heres a little heads up, I work for the leading internet security corp in the world, as a technician. And i can tell ya, this is a joke.. people that say this.. grr. they make my life hell cause everyone calls me up asking about these fucking hoaxes. Don't listen to this guy. please, for your sake, as well as mine....

it goes along the lines of the snublx.exe hoax...

its probably utility files that they ask ya to delete. If you have any questions, go to one of the virus help sites.. like
macafee's
Symantec (Norton)
theres a ton of others...

Don't let these myths continue, please?

Alley Cat? I don't know who you are but the way you
just replied to this thread was rude.
:(
Bigrednz was posting this as a common courtesy.
 
Sorry dear, but if people took the time to research this, then i wouldnt have to be rude... people get emails like this and automatically assume that what they read is truth. Do research. The fact that this person claims to work for such a large corporationa s well just irks me. If they did, they would have done the research and seen this was a joke. Basically, for laughs this cat wants you to follow his instructions. If you think its rude that i am INFORMING you of a virus hoax, so be it.

No it wasn't rude of you to inform us this was a hoax at all.
It was the way you did it.

A simple explaination that you knew it was a hoax. Without 'the don't listen to this guy."

Bigrednz posted it in good faith. And yes, after your heads up? It is a hoax.

There was still no need to be rude.

Now that we have cleared that little matter up?

Please have a nice day.

:)
 
Actually Debbie, the fact that he said he worked for a large corporation and posted this note, shows that he did not do it in good faith. anyone who worked for that company would have known not to put his name on this baord furthering a hoax. So you can bite me. Well you can't. You might enjoy that.

If you read his post again. You will see he said it was an email
from my sister.

Quote,"I have just recieved this email from Debbie's sister and thought I should post it for your infomation. "

Not from him or stating that he works for a large corporation.

As for biting you?
Pass thanks.
 
oops, my bad, ill admit that.... But as far as posting something like this on a board frequented by hundreds of people each day...

he should have researched it. as most sane people would do.

glad you passed, cause i wasn't offering. :)

Viruses and hoaxes.

Not four days ago I recieved a message, forwarded through thirty or forty recipients about a new virus that would "blow up" your hard drive and render your computer a babbling idiot!

It was the "It takes guts to say Jesus" Virus!!!

It took less than two minutes and about equal knowledge to debunk the message, reply with the truth and stop the absurd Bullshit as it does to hit a "Forward to All" button or post on this board.

I hope that if some viral message comes out, we will cover each others asses, but crying "WOLF" does nothing for us!!!

Someone may have learned to do a little research before hitting the "Panic Button" even if the responce was a little rude:p

bigrednz -


You posted something like this that could panic people, "in good faith"
Would it have been to hard, being the concerned netizen you are, to do a little research before posting? to use that mind of yours that was given to you..( yes it has its uses)


As far as kissing your ass...
Sorry. you are not that privilaged.

thank you, come again.

I think your point has been made by AlleyCat.
Bigrednz did not cry wolf. It has been stated
he posted in good faith.
Lesson learnt.
 
hrm.. also.. after reading through the posts.. the only post you apoligized in, was the one that you called me a shit head in.... heh. whateva!

I didn't mean to piss anyone off, sorry if I did!

AC's post wasn't up when I started typing, so I didn't read it.
I'm a very slow typist!:)

Only point I meant to make was that the majority of crap that comes over the internet is,.........well, CRAP!!!:eek:
