Folks, There is yet another virus warning making the rounds. People feel they have to post it to every newsgroup and email list they can access. If anybody is entertaining the idea of posting it here, don't bother. I've already seen it and it is a hoax. This latest one is called "Join the Crew" and the message might read something like this: ================================================================= Hey, just to let you guys know one of my friends recieved an email called "Join the Crew," and it erased her entire hard drive. This is that new virus that is going around. Just be careful of what mail you read. Just trying to be helpful... ================================================================= There is also a variant with essentially the same message but which talks about an email called "Join the Club". Ignore these messages and do not pass them on. Especially do not post them here. Some sites about virus hoaxes and urban legends are: http://www.europe.datafellows.com/news/hoax.htm http://ciac.llnl.gov/ http://www.kumite.com/myths/ http://www.linguistic-funland.com/ci-s96-4.html http://www.cyberhighway.net/~taxi/ilguide.htm http://mlink2.lib.umich.edu/hypermail/michlib-l/0964.html http://www.jaist.ac.jp/~fujie/security.html http://k12.cnidr.org/pa-lists/pa-questions/9412/msg00037.html http://www.yahoo.com/Society_and_Culture/Mythology_and_Folklore/Urba n_Legends/ David --- Listowner, Dyer, Foster, Friend, Gamage, Glidden, Gordon, Merry, Shippee, Sylvester, Washburn ...
