The actual virus is the poeple stupid enough to believe it, and post about it on forums like this for other people to fall for it...

the thing about a virus (living or computer) is it needs to infect other hosts fater than it kills them. otherwiese it will not spread.

a virus that destroys your pc the second it gets there has zero change of spreading.

the most sucessfull computer virii are like human Colds. they do no real damage... and dont make someone soo ill that they stop going about therw daily buiseness so they can go to work / school and infect others.

like this is just another hoax, don't waste time on it, everything about VERY fatal viruses is total bs. And if you're still afraid of those annoying but rather harmless thingies, just stop using microsoft and all your problems will be solved

>_< Stupid viruses! I just don't open any emails that aren't from people I know..
Another virus.. -__- I should sign up for some newsletter or something...
Well, just don't EVER open emails of which the sender you don't know.. the subject may sound like someone nice.. and sometimes even like the "person" knows you.. but really, it's just bs XP

If you had've read the post properly you would know that the virus sends itself to all your contacts. So unfortunately you will get the virus from someone you do know. Simply opening only those e-mails that are from people that you know will not prevent you getting the virus .

   I must confess I'm a little bit afraid. A goggling made me find a german site saying roughly

   assuming they got it from Symantec), they updated Norton and did a full system scan. The virus
   shouldn't do anything since Norton has it quaritined, correct? Now, it may have injected values
