    Hi,

    (in true copy paste format from an internal mail I sent in work) -


    There is a new computer virus called Anthrax out just a few hours ago. It is doing the rounds with the title - 'Anthrax Info'. This mail contains an attachment which under no circumstances should be opened as it contains a virus payload.

    It is possible that this mail could be sent with varying titles but the rule remains the same - should you receive email from a source whom you normally receive mail from or an email with an unexpected attachment, please delete the mail immediately.

    Surely you mean "should you receive email from a source whom you don't normally receive mail from"

    I'm going to get Gambler to flog you to death with wet spaghetti the next time he sees you. ;)

    It should also be noted that this worm has bugs in it which means it doesn't actually work, so people shouldn't get overly worried about it arriving in their mailboxes.
