He was not so lucky and now he can't even start his computer!
Forward this to everyone in your address book. I would rather
receive this 25 times than not at all. If you receive an email
called
"WTC Survivor" do not open it. Delete it right away! This
virus deletes all dynamic link libraries (dll) files from your
computer.

This sounded like a hoax, a way to get somethin goin around through email(Like a chain letter) so i went to Norton's website and they said this is a hoax. So peeps, we Dont have to worry.

Some dude just made it all up(Whoever made the email obviously)

Okay, I'm glad it is a hoax then. I just thought I would pass it along because it did seem like some kind of sick **** somebody would try and do.
