Dog Eat Dog

The following is not a virus. It is a spoof. The "virus" does not exist. There is currently no virus that has the characteristics ascribed to this spoof.

The hoax/spoof message includes the following "warning:"

A deadly new computer virus has been reported by IBM. CNN reports that this is the most dangerous virus ever seen. (Fox News agrees, but they added that it's all the fault of Liberal Democrats.) It is called the "Dog Eat Dog" Virus" and it is spread via e-mail. When you open an e-mail message containing the virus, a hideous, gigantic creature pops out of your computer monitor and eats your dog. The "Dog Eat Dog" virus is identifiable by the word "from." To prevent this virus from activating and eating your dog, do not open any messages with the word "from" in them. Many unsuspecting people are not yet aware of this virus, so be a "Paul Revere" of the internet. Copy this warning and send it to everyone you know!

Please ignore any messages regarding this supposed "virus" and do not pass on any messages regarding it. Passing on messages about this hoax serves only to further propagate it.
