Personally, I think its a fake. Its just worded all wrong, you can feel the fake-ness in it. However, I can see no motive to make a fake virus warning, so who knows

Der, if a virus warning tells you to pass it on, then its most likely a hoax...

What screen name and password ?

Messages like this are almost always hoaxes. Besides if you are not using Outlook then you dont need to worry about a virus that takes advantage of autopreview security holes.

Not to mention a good email admin should block .scr extentions from the server anyway.

No I'm not, you idiot. Look at that thread I linked, and flex whatever critical thinking skills you may happen to have squirreled away in there.

Just checked at Snopes...

They agree, it's a fake.

And it's been around since 1999.

Lol. I'm sure it's a nice a hoax. Or, perhaps, this message IS the virus.

Actually this website helped me develop a distaste for all but a few episodes of STNG.

There was always something nagging me in the back of my mind about something just being wrong with the show. This website showed me the light!

And disrupt the influx of eager new peon fodder for the hungry industrial war machine of the vs. debate? No I think we will not be doing that.
