NAME:Blotto virus hoax

The following message is a hoax:

 This new virus called "Blotto" is the most destructive ever. It
 will physically destroy your computer! It will destroy your hard
 drive by telling it to read a certain track (portion) 65,535
 times! That will cause the drive to severly overheat and
 eventually that destroys the drive. It also tells the computer
 to sit on a certain register until the circuitboard underneath
 literally melts!

 IT COMES FROM EMAIL. IF YOU GET AN EMAIL SAYING "WANT TO PLAY
 BLOTTO?" DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY AND DON'T OPEN THE ATTACHMENT!

 PLEASE Send this to everyone you know to warn them.

Blotto virus doesn't exist. If you receive this hoax message please ignore it and don't pass it on.
