There is an extremely horrible, deadly new virus that surfaced last night in Singapore. U.S. Officials say that it could hit the U.S. within 2 weeks. An email message titled "this is your last warning..." is infected with the most virulent and terrifying computer virus to date. DO NOT OPEN IT!! If you open this message, it will not only format your hard drive but physically destroy your computer. YOUR COMPUTER WILL BE RUINED BEYOND REPAIR if you open this message. The virus is able to activate a soft switch (a soft switch is a switch that is controlled by software- similar to when people shut down their computer using Windows and the power physically turns off even though they never pressed the power off button). Anyway, according to IBM and Microsoft officials in last nights press release, this virus activates a soft switch on your motherboard that controls power to your CPU. It will cause a tremendous power surge that will literally cause your CPU to burn (or explode). Your computer will literally burn up from the inside. And not just that, but this virus is so horrible, it could cause a CASCADING INVERSE POWER FLUCTUATION, by sending an electrical signal from your computer and into your primary transistors (that control power into your home), which could literally cause several circuts in your home to burst into flames! Your appliances, tv's, radios- anything and everything plugged into your wall outlets COULD LITERALLY EXPLODE! This could cause a catostrophic fire that could burn your house to the ground. You could lose your home, your car, your spouse, even your children- ALL FROM OPENING THE EMAIL MESSAGE TITLED "this is your last warning..." PLEASE, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU OPEN IT! You ***M U S T*** send this email to EVERYONE you know. You must send it everywhere on the internet. And not just to people you know, but send it to people you dont know. Officials said that the virus could hit the U.S. by next week. Therefore we must work EXTRA HARD to send out this message to everyone in the U.S. by next thursday. 200 Million people need to see this message by next week. If you ever needed to do something for humanity- to make a difference in the world, this is it. parody copyright 2000, by MoR www.unbelief.com
