threatened to "format your RAM", and "delete your BIOS". The message
then went on to go on about how nobody knew about it yet, and it was
worse then melissa (ALL Viruses are worse than melissa - it doesn't do
anything to your computer. At All.) and would cause head crashes and
nose bleeds. OK, so they didn't go so far as to threaten me with a
nose-bleed...
I've never in my life seen an honest virus warning. Not once. Not even
from people who piously say "This Is Not a Hoax!". I think all
computers should come with a little sign on the top of the monitor which
says:
WARNING! EXCESSIVE USE OF THIS COMPUTER SYSTEM MAY CAUSE SERIOUS AND
IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO YOUR INCREDULITY AND CYNICICAL CENTRES, AND CAUSE
EXCESSIVE POWER SURGES THROUGH YOUR BRAINS GULLIBILITY ZONES. THIS
SITUATION MAY BE EXCACERBATED IF YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM IS CONNECTED TO
THE INTERNET.
We can only hope...
