    Just a heads up -
    I was just sent two emails from 'starwars@theforce.net' entitled "Hi, tragiclad, your password..." Attached to these was the Klez virus under a file called pass.exe

    Now, I know enough not to run an executable file from an attachment, and Norton caught these suckers before I'd of even had the chance to do that, but I wanted to spread the word that some nasty individual is targeting users of the force.net. Be careful what you open.

    Nope, I wouldn't know a computer virus from a Std.

    All joking aside though, I wonder if this virus "gag" was aimed at Mod's in particular, or just Toronto ones.

    Has anyone warned the Poobah dude?

    EDIT;

    Yeesh, even my edits need editing...

    :p

    Teacher: "Tragic, stop saying that, um,kay."

    Darth2-D2: " Ha Ha, Tragic got caught saying Virus..."

    Kenobi: " Teacher I think my wall caught a virus."

    Teacher: "Kenobi, go sit in the corner um,kay."

    Kenobi: "Can I bring my projector and watch Starwars A New Hope again."

    Teacher: "Um,kay but just this once um,kay and only if it is Letterbox. I hate Pan and Scan um,kay. Pan and Scan is bad um,kay. Now where were we children.
