This email message is just a HOAX, currently we know of no other message that the user will receive about the HOAX as the initial email states. AVERT has not received any report of a user's hard drive being erased for opening the email.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

Can't believe everything that comes in your email! TY WildIrish!

Maybe we need a thread for URLS to confirm these messages people get.

Absofuckinlutely!

There is a special circle in Hell reserved for virus authors! I have a hard time imagining the total labor consumed to repair the damage done by those SOBs!

That is to say that I dislike these people very much.
