He told me that in his computer class, the teachers wouldn't let them go on the internet at all today becasue there was a high risk of them catching a virus. He didn't say how you could catch it, or whatever. But he said that he didn't want me surfing anything on our desktop. He said that the teacher told them that this virus was supposedly beyond code red, and was worst than anything they've ever seen. He said it was a worm that works by turning on all the programs in your computer at once, thus burning your hard drive. But, he asn't FOR SURE if thats what it does. He said that this is linked to the terrorists. Does anyone know anything about this, or if it's false or true?! (if it's false, I'm really sorry about spreading rumors, but I'm praying that it is!). > Thanxs!!!, > Rachel aka Moonchild > > To unsubscribe or change your preferences for the Creed-Discuss list, visit: > http://www.winduplist.com/ls/discuss/form.asp To unsubscribe or change your preferences for the Creed-Discuss list, visit: http://www.winduplist.com/ls/discuss/form.asp
