Elf Bowling

[greaseytech]

Anyone downloaded Elf Bowling? So I am told there is a virus which will play havoc with your computers on Christmas Day. So if you have it please get rid of it.

Is this just hearsay or have you checked out a reputable virus site for your info?

I did. Try reading this URL:

Sometimes people have as much fun sending out hoax warnings as viruses.

Happy Bowling

I have been told by my IT dept. that it is just a hoax, sent by some sad individual who objects to knocking a few elves down.
However if you are worried about it, better to be safe than sorry, delete the little blighters

For those of you who have the "better safe than sorry" mentality, deleting the e-mail which gave you elf bowling is insufficient. The .exe file copies itself - you should search your memory for any file of the type A000*.* and delete them also.

Happy Bowling!

And if you are the only person that hasn't yet been sent Elf Bowling by e-mail, then you can always download it straight from the developers at:

Their home page has further information about the virus hoax. I would also recommend Frogapult; kept the rugrats occupied for hours.
