welshwan Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 That's what we in the industry call 'complete fucking bullshit' Usually known as 'chain letters' - Here's a wiki page about chain letters wiki For the love of god, if you get an email from a Nigerian prince wanting to give you his riches. MARK AS SPAM AND DELETE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obriens65 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 If you don't use Microsoft or Apple you don't have to worry so much about viruses cos most of them are targeted at those two systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator DirtyDT Posted January 7, 2014 Moderator Share Posted January 7, 2014 These communications are normally started by people who can't hack anybody. I think they get off on seeing if it goes global. A bit like Chinese whispers. I prefer Linux on servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I agree, Linux is wank, got it on my little note book at home that hardly gets turned on due to thecrap running system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
up.yours Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 i thought you only got viruses from them porno sights dodgy sights some people go on.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campaman Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Yup total nonsense, the terminology of 'Burning' you C drive shows its not from anyone that really knows what they are talking about. Simplest way of not getting viruses is don't download pirated or dodgy material supplied by knock off Nigel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dt502001 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 As I said I'm not a puter guy.I got the email from my 77 yr old father who dose have friends that are puter guys. I realy dont care as my security seems to catch anything,, even wont let me open stuff from friends at times .I back up my files to a second puter about once a month and its not connected to the net so good luck hacking it or giving it a virus. I just thought I would be nice and let you all know what I was told,I would rather someone told me about something that was fake or possibly real than find out the hard way. The prince all ready contacted me told him to keep it and feed the needy ,the 20 yr old who just need some cash for a flight to come marrie me, the lawyer who needed cash to bail out my brother,there must be some realy stupid people if anyone has fallen for this crap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using Ubuntu Linux since 2010 and to my mind it's fantastic. I'd never go back to Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
