Just thought i'd post this as it is so funny.

I received this blocked virus message:

Mail said:


This is an auto-generated e-mail; please do not reply.

Dear Customer

An e-mail addressed to you was intercepted by our mail systems because it contained a known virus. We have deleted the e-mail and the virus so that it poses no threat to your computer.

The name of the virus was Worm/NetSky.P worm
The address it appears to have been sent from is support@symantec.com.

What do you need to do?
The virus has been identified and deleted, therefore you don't need to do anything. If you know the person who the infected mail appears to have come from, you may wish to forward the details to them. However, this is entirely up to you.

Please note, that we do recommend that you always run up-to-date virus protection on your own computer. No system is 100% effective and although the protection we offer will remove a significant threat from viruses, it is vitally important that you protect your computer as well.



Best regards



Is no one safe!

Well doctors aren't immune from getting ill, and I expect firemen have their houses burn down from time to time. Hell, I've even heard of mechanics having cars break down on them!

The virus has faked the address support@symantec.com - no way has it actually come from that address.
