Email Virus Scam!!!
Published on September 5, 2005 By AlexMatheson In Current Events
Never ones to miss an opportunity, it appears that virus writers are capitalising on the aftermath of Katrina. Under the guise of a bulletin offering updates on the disaster, you're taken to a web site which passes a virus on to your PC.

You have been warned!

PS, Why is it that mankind is so quick to use the fallout from disasters as a means of doing further harm? Anyone looking in from the outside must be thinking: What a sick species! Stay away from planet Earth!!!

thank you for the warning, alex. My virus definitions are up to date, but something as emotional as Katrina really can and does raise enough curiousity to click a damaging link. I will pass along this message.
