Die volgende van http://www.datafellows.com/hoaxes/vcredit.shtml
The following virus warning is a hoax:
Subject: A new virus has just been discovered that has been classified
by Microsoft ( www.microsoft.com ) and by McAfee (www.mcafee.com ) as the
most destructive ever!
...
...
The above hoax has nothing to do with VBS/Mill worm. Further information
about it is available at: http://www.Europe.F-Secure.com/v-descs/mill.shtml
Please ignore the message and do not pass it on.
Onthou die meeste van die "Virus warnings" is gewoontlik 'n "hoax". Gaan kyk
altyd eers by 'n "hoax warning site" of dit 'n hoax is of nie, voordat jy
sulke boodskappe aanstuur.
