Microsoft Claims hehe.gullable is Worst Virus Ever, and for Ever and ever! A friendly Microsoft employee sent me this warning personally. He opened it by mistake and it played all the Microsoft tunes backwards and painted horns and a moustache on all the images of Bill Gates in the head quarters computers thus getting him the sack. It's so powerful that minutes later all the MS employees in the great corporation ran out of the building screaming that they're computers were trying to take over the world and resistance is futile! The BBC reports the virus which is called hehe.gullable (or nasty little bugger) as the worst ever. It caused mass panic in London and Croiden carpark is reported to have been closed for at least half an hour as a large pothole was spotted. This virus is activated simply by being recieved as an email which is why it it is so dangerous. As yet no vaccination has been effective. Mr Kurtz Coldsore of Norton Semantic stated yesterday their anti-virus software is useless. Everyone knew that anyway. The only solution is to unplug your computer for several days and hope it goes away, he said. heehee.gullable works by reading your address book and having a good laugh at how few real friends you've got. Then it sends itself to everyone in your address book, all your relatives and friends current and passed, your boss and work colleagues, anybody significant you've ever met in your life as well as anyone you've ever snogged drunkenly at a party. It advises them you really are the sad b*** they always thought you were and they were right all along about that twenty quid you swore you'd paid them back already. The really devistating part of the virus is the payload. It places not one but three zeros on your hard disk causing it to move and delete files that you were sure you'd saved and now can't find. If this has happened to you then it may already be working. It drops a trojan (called they'll.never.spot.me.disguised.as.a.big.horse!) whhich in turn opens a porthole for a worm called Jack.Straw. This worm starts eating all the chips on your PC and then the rest of it as well from the inside out. It only stops if it can't find the tomato sauce - which it will, even if it has to send you down to the local shops. Before unplugging your PC please warn everyone by sending this to everyone on your Address Book. I'm too technically inept to write a virus but i can always clutter up the internet with this junk instead.
