Text only virus: Some time ago I received a joke by e-mail
about a lazy virus that asked the user to forward the e-mail to all
his friends and delete it’s entire hard disk afterwards.
Today I received this e-mail, claiming that the person that sent
the e-mail had a virus and was checking if any of his contacts got
infected too. The e-mail had some simple instructions for the
receiver:
- Find a particular file (a Windows system file).
- Delete that file.
- If the file existed then forward the e-mail to all your
contacts so they can check if they have the virus.
And there you have it, a text only virus!!! And the most
amazing thing is that given the amount of e-mails of this type I
received today it works better than real virus.

Day 2 of my

lessons. Whenever I think things are making sense I discover
another problem GSM has to deal with. No wonder so many calls get
lost. Just so you can get an idea,

this diagram is a part of what happens when someone from a
external network calls a mobile phone (just the call setup phase).
In the next few days I’m going to learn some GPRS and UMTS (they
told me it gets even more complicated).
