Title: WOW, I've got a FRIEND at Micro$oft
Post by: RHPConsult on September 11, 2003, 05:22:53 PM

Just received this heartwarming message . . .

Dear friend , use this Internet Explorer patch now!
There are dangerous virus in the Internet now!
More than 500.000 already infected!

Oh sure. The "cure" is right there in the accompanying .exe. file.

Thanks a lot.


Query: Is this a new approach to trap the unwary? At least the grammar is more polished than the Nigerians who are so eager to provide for my grandfchildren's education or whatever

If I followed all the advice from my email "friends" I'd be rich beyond my wildest dreams, never be able to get my trousers on and would have to buy huge women's blouses....  
Oh, and I wouldn't get worms (passed that one on to the dog...  )

 *Grin...When I saw the name of this virus a couple of weeks ago, I chuckled. It may be just me and I'm pronouncing it wrong, but does anyone else "hear" the insult implied by the name?

Dumaru = Dumb are you

  ok..probably just me
