VIRUS ALERT!!!!!

Feb 29, 2004 2:48PM PST

I have received notice of a virus called "WTC Survivor". It apparently will wipe your C drive completely. Is this a hoax or truth? The person who sent me the warning said that a friend had sent her an e-mail, then called her immediately because his computer seemed to be "Dead". He could not even boot up the computer. He had forwarded an e-mail that he had just received and felt the virus was in the e-mail.
