    If you receive an e-mail that reads "Upgrade Internet" do not
    open it, as it contains an executable file named "perrin.exe" it will erase
    all the data in your hard drive and it will stay in your memory.

    Every time that you upload any data, that data will be
    automatically erased and you will not be able to use your computer again.
    This information was published yesterday in the CNN web site.

There is no known anti virus program for this particular virus please, forward this information to your friends, so that they will be on the alert, also check the list below, sent by IBM with the names of some e-mails that, if received.

    uhh, i don't think it's even possible for a software program to actually physically damage hardware components like memory, sound card and speakers, etc. and I'm absolutely certain that it can't "infect" a keyboard and mouse. basically, it probably screws over windows, and you have to reformat, but people who don't understand whats going on panic and make up rediculous stories about how a virus infected their mouse.

    way to go misinformation-carrying SPAM chain letter :D

    well its jus sayin that the virus could infect ur sound card, or perhaps even a video card. it could also infect ur video and sound drivers, making them not work anymore. so in a way, it doesnt really physically damage ur sound card and video card, but it can internaly...
