I thought you would want to know about this new email virus. Even the most advanced programs from Norton or McAfee cannot take care of this one. I'm sure that some of you have already been infected....

Symptoms:

1. It causes you to send the same e-mail twice.

2. It causes you to send blank e-mails.

3. It causes you to send e-mails to the wrong person.

4. It causes you to send emails back to the person who sent it to you.

5. It causes you to forget to attach the attachment.

6. It causes you to hit "SEND" before you've finished.

7. It causes you to hit "DELETE" instead of "SEND."


IT'S CALLED THE "C-NILE VIRUS"

I had this!

I wrote a scathing email about someone's lack of professionalism and attention to detail, and the virus made me inadvertantly email it directly back to them instead of the intended recipients.

I'd like to find the guy who wrote this virus...

LOL! I also had this virus! I can't think of any other reason why I would hit 'reply' instead of 'forward' when bitching quite impressively to a workmate about a client!
