WEll this one isn't a hoax, because it happend to me yesterday. Someone (I never found out who) sent me an e-mail with an attachment that was called sexy_virgin.scr

When I was trying to open my mail in Outlook 2000, Norton Anti-Virus suddenly popped up and said that it was in my temp directory.

To make a long story short, I had to quarantine the file, then delete it. It wiped out my Outlook 2000, and even after a reinstall I haven't gotten it back. I use Outlook Express now, and when I imported messages, I lost about the last weeks worth.

Go FUCK YOURSELF to the ASSHOLE who sent it to me!

It is a nasty virus that according to Norton rewrites your wsock32.dll file, then gets the latest update over the internet on the virus newsgroup, attaches itself to your e-mail and sends itself to all the people in you address book, and destroys files on your harddrive.

THANK GOD Norton found it before I opened it, so except for Outlook 2000 taking a nosedive, the rest of my system is intact.
