Hi, I have some cool joke - 
worms so have a look at it (no virus)
Andrea
The first time I got this email virus, it was from jennschac at hotmail.com (a CS major, shame on you! :) ), but I didn't recognize it for what it was because the email is convincingly signed with the senders first name. Still, I was curious but cautious. I copied the .exe to a VMware virtual windows pc, set it's hard-disk to "discard changes" mode, disconnected the vm from the network, and only then did I double click worms.exe.

Some worms started crawling all over my screen. Yay.

Oh, and W32.Cervivec also emails itself to everyone on your ICQ list the next time your reboot. Hmm. Good thing I was careful.

Remember, kids: Clicking an .exe attachment is no different than meeting a complete stranger on the internet, inviting them over, sitting them down at your computer, then leaving the room for an hour! Don't do it!

I am a slave to package tracking. How can my package be in this very city, just sitting in the UPS warehouse since 6AM ?
