Death69

A hoax. The text of one such email follows:

There is a new horrible virus on the loose! created late November by elite hacker "DEATH-BLAZE." The virus is full stealth and Trojan, once thought never possible, it first formats the hard drive, then it physically eats at the materials of the drive. researchers are stunned, they say it is probably the most destructive virus ever created.

The virus's name is "death69" witch as I stated earlier was created by elite hacker "DEATH-BLAZE"

Remember, hoaxes cost companies - and people - time and money. Please do not forward them to others.
