Cheesy Email

This has to be the most cheesy email I’ve ever seen in my life.
Just for the search engines: hoax, virus, chain mail

Mon Nov 27, 2006
From: secur@telcan.com

Subject: Mail server report.

Our firewall determined the e-mails containing worm copies are being
sent from your computer.

Nowadays it happens from many computers, because this is a new virus
type (Network Worms).

Using the new bug in the Windows, these viruses infect the computer
unnoticeably.
After the penetrating into the computer the virus harvests all the
e-mail addresses and sends the copies of itself to these e-mail
addresses

Please install updates for worm elimination and your computer
restoring.

Best regards,
Customers support service
