If you think you've got a computer virus...

(From a netfriend:)

... Sing this to the tune Ghostbusters:

theres something weird ,

in your email box,

who you gonna call?

Hoaxbusters

Why do people keep on getting taken in by this stuff?

snopes.com is another good place to check before you go blasting off the equivalent of a 'reply to all' about some ancient hoax virus that's going to rape your granny, attack your wife, stomp on your kittens and empty your bank account.

I did like the Irish virus e-mail though, the one that explained that the Irish don't have the know-how to actually write a virus, so please delete all your files, and forward this e-mail to everyone in your address book.
