Can anyone tell me how to get a computer to burn properly? Some of the lads are trying a sort of pyre thing in the car park, but security don't seem to impressed. Chiark, Can we not just bury them and worry about the consequences in two or three months time?

We are using some old pallets as base, they seem to work quite well......

Just don't stand down wind

Thanks Weaver. Spraying petrol on them does the trick as well

p.s. managed to beat the lads away from my laptop with a big stick. Told them I had a 'business critical' need for it (to read scoobynet)

Well, there's a vile milky DISCHARGE thats emitted from your PC once infected, so I'd rather not bury it.

Still, bury it deep enough and it will be another generation's problem?

Pray that we catch it in time.

I thought this was a hoax ... but I've just heard the Conservative loudpeaker van come down road, commandeered by the local police, announcing that this IS NOT A HOAX and that all those footpaths that have just re-opened are being closed again as we speak.

Grim times ahead...

The government are preparing concrete lined pits for mass burial.

The military are now involved.

Take care out there folks, one of our guys has already been savaged by an infected server!

There is a computer virus that is being sent across the Internet. If you receive an e-mail message with the subject line "Free Money," DO NOT read the message. DELETE it immediately, UNPLUG your computer, then BURN IT to ASHES in a government-approved toxic waste disposal INCINERATOR.

Once a computer is infected, it will be TOO LATE. Your computer will begin to emit a vile ODOUR. Then it will secrete a foul, milky DISCHARGE. Verily, it shall SCREECH with the tortured, monitor-shattering SCREAM of 1,000 hell-scorched souls, drawing unwanted attention to your cubicle from co-workers and supervisors alike. After violently ripping itself from the wall, your computer will punch through your office window as it STREAKS into the night, HOWLING like a BANSHEE. Once free, it will spend the rest of its days TORTURING household PETS and MOCKING the POPE.

Some filthy, disgusting miscreant ... some no-good, low-down, good-for-nothing DIRTY SNAKE, in twisted pursuit of her own sadistic dreams, is sending this virus across the Net via an e- mail entitled "Free Money." What is so terrifying about this virus is that you do not even to have to open the e-mail for it to activate. In fact, you do not even need to RECEIVE the e- mail. You do not even need to OWN a COMPUTER. "Free Money" can infect even minor HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES.

How it does this with straight ASCII code is, frankly, a matter of some debate ... but BELIEVE YOU US, if this weren't a SERIOUS situation, we wouldn't be discussing it in ALL CAPS.

So for the LOVE OF GOD, forward this e-mail to all those you claim to care about, all those you purport to love. Don't do it later! Do it NOW! Now! Now! NOW! NOW! NOW!

I think it's OK I have mailed my entire company and we are burning thousands of machines now.

I think we may be safe, but what about others, hopefully we stop this before it becomes a international disaster.......

Is this a hoax?
