    This is the worst virus announced by CNN, it has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever.

    Lol. This is how you know it's spam. Every fake virus warning has these words in it! :rolleyes:

    As you can with Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail. I never open an email from an unkown source until I've checked it.

    My old computer displayed a message saying "this computer has performed an illegal operation"

    The Police didn't seem at all interested when I reported it.
