E-mail Hoax Warning
April 5, 2005 – E-mails regarding a potential virus related to the WTC or 911 is not a real virus. This is a HOAX e-mail. Anyone receiving this e-mail should delete it immediately.

Below is the actual text that appears in the HOAX e-mail:

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.
