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..


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..

This is NOT FUD...................... this is a "user understandable explanation" of why the price of two bottles of wine got added to the bill?
