電腦病毒虛報

10年前開始上網，用電郵，不消一兩個月，便開始收到形形色色的轉寄「電腦病毒」通告了。

有些是英文的，有些是中文的(大多是甚麼一開頭是「請大家告訴大家」的台灣式中文)，警告人甚麼甚麼附加檔案千萬不要開，儘快將訊息傳出去，以免更多人受害。

我厭惡病毒，我也厭惡病毒虛報！

就是有些無聊的人利用人的「善意」心理來濫發虛報，一傳十、十傳百，搞到垃圾堆積，浪費網絡資源。有些更可惡的，叫你檢查C Drive，有沒有一個 XXX檔案，有就把它刪掉----查實那個是有用的檔案。

昨日又收一個轉寄通知：

Subject:  URGENT, URGENT - PLEASE CIRCULATE!!!

In the coming days, DO NOT  open any message with an attachment called: BLACK MUSLIM IN THE WHITE HOUSE , regardless of who sent it to you.  It is a virus that opens an Olympics torch that burns the whole hard disk C of your computer.  This virus comes from a known person who you have in your list.   Directions:  You should send this message to all of your contacts. It is better to receive this e-mail 25 times than to receive the virus and open it.  If you receive a message called BLACK MUSLIM IN THE WHITE HOUSE even  if sent by a friend, do not open, and shut down your machine immediately.  It is the worst virus announced by CNN.  This  new virus has been discovered recently it has been classified by Microsoft as the virus most destructive ever.  This virus was discovered yesterday afternoon by McAfee..  There is no repair yet for this kind of virus.  This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the hard disk, where vital information function is stored. 奉勸大家，收到這些電郵，千萬不要「寧可信其有，不可信其無」，馬上通知通訊錄上所有聯絡人；否則就是做了幫兇。 通常我會copy一些關鍵字眼如這一封的 BLACK MUSLIM IN THE WHITE HOUSE 來 google一下 ，看看有沒有人提到這事。不出所料，這又是虛報了。  (文章允許轉貼，請具作者名字：梁煥松)
