火星下的小金星

小金星:

今日你個火星爸爸個畢地又收到封mail比你個火星爸爸，
話CNN announces worst virus ever ! ! ! ! ! !
話呢隻virus好危險之類，叫你收到就唔好開。
收到呢D hoax mail 真係好鬼慶，好想話佢好無知，唔識就唔好亂咁send D
不實的訊息，我知道佢係為我好，唔想其他人中毒，但佢send 果D
資料係流野，重顯出佢對電腦病毒的無知。呢幾年你爸爸都每一次話唔好亂放流言，基於結果佢都係會發出呢D流野，唔會先search 下 google
，關於 封信的可信性。

但係小金星，你記住每一次著掣的時刻，都可以係自我提升的機會，
於是你爸爸check in 番自已點解咁慶，
知道自已有個做人信念同自已講，做人要謹慎發言，
唔好隨便講D不真實的說話，對自已的言論負責任，
send 野出街前要make sure D 野係堅的，
唔好立亂send流野，如果唔係就會影響好多人。
而呢封信就同你爸爸的信念相反，你爸爸的經驗話比自已聽，
封信真無可能重會有人相信啦，點知今時今日真係重會有人信，而且呢幾年呢個畢地都會收到我苦口婆心的信，叫佢地唔好立亂send 出街，唔係就好心做壞事，可惜基於結果……唉…………

上google 找一找 “A Card for You virus cnn”
立刻就search 到呢個about的website
http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_a_card_for_you.htm
呢封Email hoax Circulating since:  Dec. 2000，
嘩，今年係2005年10月啦，救命呀，點解重會有人中招?
睇番上一兩手的email 發出者都係今年8月，即係重有好多人重以為唔中電腦病毒，係靠人傳人的email，今日叫你唔好開 Subject
Good time的email，下次就叫你唔好開 A Card for You的email，每個人收到email 就要recall
番你某年某日曾經咁好心叫過佢唔好開乜乜乜乜的email。大佬呀，今時今日有成千上萬的virus，係唔係我每日一收到隻病毒係點的就send個
email 比你，你就每日記住唔好開乜，唔好開物?????

呢度about.com 咁講:

As a general rule, acting on forwarded email warnings is
the worst way to try to protect yourself from viruses  and not
just because the majority of emailed virus warnings are hoaxes. In a
sense, all such warnings  even the accurate ones  are
misleading, because they leave the false impression that as long as
you’re on the alert for file attachments with specific names, you will
be safe. The reality is that you put yourself at risk by downloading
any executable file by any name — and some viruses are even designed to
rename themselves or email copies of themselves under randomly varying
names.

Much, much, much more important than heeding emailed virus warnings are the simple preventative measures of:

   1. Always being very careful what you download
   2. Scanning your hard drive regularly with up-to-date antivirus software.

無論佢係話CNN又好，Microsoft
員工又好，呢D病毒唔會因為你咁好人發封信而會停止的，反而係你比封信騙了，佢叫你forward出去的目的係偷你和你朋友的email
address，你又唔用BCC，立亂將你朋友的email address 公開，D 人 又唔會 將之前D email adress
洗左，經過幾代的email 傳遞，D spammer就好開心，一次可以收到咁多email address 比佢地。今時今日收到咁多spam
mail，就你因為你咁好人發封流野出來，人地收到又當真咁發比佢親愛的朋友。

我知道，發封email 比朋友係一個方法去証明自已生存的方法，但自從web 2.0 時代依家有 blog 同 podcast，都係一個有效的web tools 去証明你未死，你會唔會blog?

小金星，你認為有乜方法可以減少junkmail? email group 又可唔可以減少呢D spam?
