SARC indicates it as destructive attempting to delete the Windows folder.   Steve Clark Clark Systems Support, LLC AVIEN Charter Member “Who's watching your network?” www.clarksupport.com           301-610-9584 voice           240-465-0323 Efax   -----Original Message----- From: Murray Freeman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 24, 2001 4:57 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: New virus on the loose   Rick, where did you hear this? While I realize that it's possible for a virus to "erase" your hard drive, I get nervous everytime I hear that a virus is on the loose that will wipe your drive clean, etc,etc.   Murray -----Original Message----- From: Ziminski, Rick (Rick)** CTR ** [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 24, 2001 3:32 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: New virus on the loose   A new virus called W32/Vote@MM has been reported to be circulating around the Internet.  If you receive an email with the Subject: "Fwd:Peace BeTweeN AmeriCa And IsLam!", delete the email and do not open the "wtc.exe" attachment.  Executing the "wtc.exe" attachment will format your C-drive and destroy your data.
