Description
There are several versions of this hoax.
The text of the first version of this hoax reads as follows:
I received this from a reliable family friend this morning. 10/28/01 BIG
TROUBLE !!!! DO NOT OPEN "WTC Survivor" It is a virus that will erase your
whole "C" drive. It will come to you in the form of an E-Mail from a
familiar person. I repeat a friend sent it to me, but called and warned me
before I opened it. He was not so lucky and now he can't even start his
computer! Forward this to everyone in your address book. I would rather
receive this 25 times than not not all.
If you receive an email called "WTC Survivor" do not open it. Delete it
right away! This virus removes all dynamic link libraries (.dll files)
from your computer. This is a serious one.
The text of the second version of this hoax reads as follows:
During the next several weeks be VERY cautious about opening or
launching any e-mails that refer to the World Trade Centre or 9/11 in any way,
regardless of who sent it. PLEASE FORWARD TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. FOR
THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW, "WTC" STANDS FOR THE WORLD TRADE CENTRE. REALLY
DANGEROUS BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL OPEN IT RIGHT AWAY, THINKING ITS A STORY
RELATING TO 9/11!
