Virus name: An Internet Flower for You
Example: [Collected on the Internet, 2002]
Intel announced that a new and very destructive virus was discovered. If you receive an email called "An Internet Flower For you," Do not open it. Delete it right away! This virus removes all dynamic link libraries (.DLL files) from your computer. Your computer will not be able to boot up!! SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST!! |
Origins: Just like the similar "Virtual Card for You" hoax, this jape has been making the rounds since at least 2000 and is just as phony. No such virus has ever been identified by Intel (or anyone else).
