A message received from Erin - land of poetry and song.

Hello!

I've been thinking about all these computer viruses and worms and the like. Seems to me that there must be a simpler way to cause problems for computers without building these complicated programs at all. Anyway, I think I've come up with the answer. It's low-tech and very easy, so it is. It's a manual virus and I've decided to call it Seamus after me grandad.

Here's how it works:

When you receive this email, immediately go to your hard drive and delete all the files. Once you've done that, send this email to everyone in your address book. That's it, simple enough, eh?

Oh - and don't tell anyone it was me because I don't want to get into trouble. Thanks. Good man yourself.

Patrick Seamus Aloysius O'Hacker

But But But if I delete all files I have deleted my address book.

Bloody Irish.

Yes, I found that when I tried it, too.
