Groan... Not another VIRUS alert....

[Teller.John at orbital.com]

I know. I know.  It isn't really EFI related, but... ;)

I don't usually forward virus warnings because they're usually hoaxes
but this one looks pretty dangerous, so a word to the wise....

IF YOU RECEIVE AN EMAIL ENTITLED "Badtimes", DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY!
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN OR READ IT. This one is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

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 re-calibrate your refrigerator's coolness settings so all
your ice cream melts and your milk curdles.

It will reprogram your phone autodial to call only your
mother-in-law's number.

It will reverse the hot and cold water knobs on all your faucets.

This virus will mix antifreeze into your fish tank.

It will drink all your beer.

It will leave dirty socks on the coffee table when you are expecting
company.

Its radioactive emissions will cause your toe jam and bellybutton
fuzz (be honest, you have some) to migrate behind your ears.

It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine,
all 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 fun until someone loses an eye.

It will give you Dutch Elm Disease and Tinnitus.

It will rewrite your backup files, changing all your active verbs
to passive tense and incorporating undetectable misspellings which
grossly change the interpretation of key sentences.

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, but it will also refill your skim milk with whole milk.

It will cause your sweaters to pill.

It will replace all your luncheon meat with Spam.

It is insidious and subtle.
It is awful and terrifying to behold.
Like Byron, it is mad, bad and dangerous to know.

These are just a few signs of infection.  I consider the bellybutton fuzz
warning to be very serious!

FORWARD THIS URGENT INFORMATION TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW IMMEDIATELY!!!

If you still don't think this is another hoax, I may have a bridge you may
be interested in!
