Hello,This is a funny game
This game is my first work.
You're the first player.
I hope you would enjoy it.

I know that none of you is silly enough to intentionally open an unsolicited email with an executable attachment that claims to be "A special funny game," but accidents do happen.

When this thing arrived, my suspicions were aroused (not that my suspisions are easily aroused, but this is a highly suspicious message), and I tracked down this
message on www.rcsb.org/pdb[/url]. I then looked for official confirmation, and found it at Brown County Safe Surf.

This virus is designed to use vulnerable versions of Outlook and Outlook Express (GAAATEES!!!), but it can also affect you if you open the attachment, whatever email program you are using. If you have Outlook or Outlook express, microsoft has released an update that will protect you against this virus, unless you open the attachment.

This is not a drill. All users of Outlook and Outlook Express must update their software immediately, and all email users should avoid opening the executable attachment.

Thanks, Survivor. I got this yesterday, also, but immediately deleted it without opening. These damned viruses are everywhere!
