Be Wise, Beware (off topic)

A friend just sent this to me.  And I know that there are a lot of naive computer users out there who don't know how to protect themselves.  Take heed.

   I never send out things like this without checking their veracity first. Not a new virus, but one that has been use 'oer and o'er.   And this is the time of year for a repeat.  This is for real.  Be wise, beware.

   This is worth passing along. With the  holidays coming up, this could be a real problem.
  
   
     The newest virus circulating is the UPS/Fed Ex/USPS Delivery Failure. 
   
     You will receive an e-mail from UPS, Fed Ex, or USPS along with a packet number. 
   
     It will say that they were unable to deliver a package sent to you on such-and-such a date. 
   
     It then asks you to print out the invoice copy attached. 
   
     DON'T TRY TO PRINT THIS. IT LAUNCHES THE VIRUS!  
   
     Pass this warning on to all your PC operators at work and home. 
   
     This virus has caused Millions of dollars in damage in the past few days. 
   
     Snopes confirms that it is real.

Member since MAY 2008. I quit smoking March 1, 2006. I smoked a pack and a half a day for about 35 years. What did it take to get me smoke free? Perseverance, a promise not to smoke, and a willingness to be uncomfortable for as long as it took to get me to where I am today. I am an Ex but I have not forgotten the initial difficult journey of this rite of passage. That's one of the things that's keeping me proudly smoke free. I don't want to ever have another Day 1 again. You too can achieve your goal of being finally free forever. Change your mind, change your habits, alter your focus, release the myths you hold about smoking. And above all - keep your sense of hewmer. DAY WON - NEVER ANOTHER DAY ONE. If you still want one - you're still vulnerable. Protect your quit!
