Who sleeps shall awake, looking through the window of our lives
Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...

Regretful relevancy batman! I got several emails similar to the ones they described!

Good thing I jerked away from the computer, ran away screaming, and hid under a bridge for a month when I saw that the email said that the FBI wanted me.

It would suck if it really wrecked the internet, since I'm finally getting Broadband on Thursday. Also, my birthday is the day after the 6th. D:<

Ah, the wonders of private email. Thank god I didn't get any of those. Or my mom. She's not the brightest when it comes for viruses. Come to think about it, I better check her e-mail before she gets to it and screws up my pc.
I'm here, you just can't see me!

Triggerpoint is my not so new webcomic, and currently under heavy work before it resurfaces.

So it's just an Email virus? Bah. I'll just keep an eye on my mailbox then and if I see anything like that I know it's Spam.<br><br>This computer of mine has been healthy for two years despite the lack of the latest Uber-Security and Antivirus stuff. I think I'll be fine <!--emo&:P--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Even if you don't have the virus, if you have Windows, it can still affect you.
