A BAD VIRUS
If you receive an email entitled 'Badtimes,' delete it immediately. Do not
open it. Apparently this one is pretty nasty. It will not only erase
everything on your hard drive, but it will also delete anything on disks
within 20 feet of your computer.
* It demagnetizes the stripes on ALL of your credit cards.
* It reprograms your ATM access code, screws up the tracking on your VCR and
uses subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you attempt to play.
* It will program your phone auto dial to call only 900 numbers.
* This virus will mix antifreeze into your fish tank.
* It will drink ALL your beer.
ARE YOU LISTENING!?!?!?
* It will leave dirty underwear on the coffee table when you are expecting
company.
* It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine, all the
while dating your current boy/girlfriend behind your back and billing their
hotel rendezvous to your Visa card.
* It will cause you to run with scissors and throw things in a way that is
only fun until someone loses an eye.
* It will rewrite your backup files, changing all your active verbs to
passive tense and incorporate undetectable misspellings which grossly change
the interpretations of key sentences.
* If the "Badtimes" message is opened in a Windows 95/98 environment, it
will leave the toilet seat up and leave your hair dryer plugged in
dangerously close to a full bathtub.
* It will not only remove the forbidden tags from your mattresses and
pillows, it will also refill your skim milk with whole milk.
WARN AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN!!
