Its a fricken hoax :rolleyes:

You would have to feel pretty stupid to have fallen for that.. {Not directing it to be towards the original poster. ;) }

I mean you can see straight through it and tell that it's utter bull wak. I guess someone decided to play an April's Fools day joke a little to late.. :rolleyes:


Even if this indeed did exist, then all you would need to do is just remove the C:\ and assign the drives a different drive letter, therfore this so called Virus would be null and void at the door.. ;)

I wrote a tut on this in 2002...
