    I'm also told by our people that it leaves crap in your outbox if you get sent it.

    Well, if you're running outlook on windows anyway.

    Mmmmmm, warm glow of UNIX superiority.

      Warning! This is a _insert name of country you always make fun of_ virus! Do what this email tells you to do, or face the consequences!!!!

      Steps to follow:
      1. Sent this email to everyone in your address-book
      2. Delete the contents of your harddrive and throw your pc out of your window, preferrably from the fifth floor or higher

          dZeus, it seems you got v2.0 of that virus. I got v1.0 and it had a fatal flaw, in that the two steps were reversed. Before I could send the message to all my friends, the computer was already in several small bits on the sidewalk below. ;-)
