Subject: Snowhite and the Seven Dwarfs - The REAL story!


Today, Snowhite was turning 18. The 7 Dwarfs always where very educated and
polite with Snowhite. When they go out work at mornign, they promissed a
*huge* surprise. Snowhite was anxious. Suddlently, the door open, and the
Seven
Dwarfs enter...


It came with a file attchment called "dwarves4you.com"

Since it doesn't have a name, I dub it, the

"Snow White Virus"

What it does

It attacks the WSock.dll and when you go online, it downloads the whole virus and corrupts the Kernel32.dll and the WSock.dll

When that happens, then nothing will open.

When that happens, then re-install windows, that should take care of it.

Re: Virus Warning

Yeah I just got it. I opened the email without thinking but of course deleted it immediately, without opening the attachment. I hope that's ok.

Re: Virus Warning

I've been getting these emails about every day now, sometimes more than once per day. I don't even open them anymore. Some are in Spanish. Any idea how they're getting my address, why I'm receiving them, or how to block it?
