(Gold9472: I'm going to play "Conspiracy Theorist". When I read this, a few things went through my mind. The first thing that went through my mind was the audacity it took to use the phrase, "9/11" for a virus. To make people think you're going to contribute to something noble, and then be hit by a virus. Dastardly.
Then, I started to think about why an individual would want to use the phrase, "9/11" for a name. Could it be the creator of the virus wanted people to remember 9/11? An analogy of sorts. A virus spreads. The evil that took place on 9/11 has continued to spread across the planet. Maybe...
Or, this was created by the Government to make people fearful of opening 9/11 related emails.
Or, it could be that viruses are OFTEN named after disatrous events. Chernobl for instance.
Either way, I didn't want you guys to think I didn't go "out there" sometimes... ;))

Law enforcement officials are warning everyone to be especially careful as a new powerful computer virus makes the rounds here in Eastern Idaho.
It is called the 9/11 virus and will destroy your hard drive. It is often labeled 9/11 or world trade center memorial. It claims to have pictures or asks for help in remembering the victims of 9/11.
According to Fremont County Sheriff Ralph Davis, a probation and parole officer opened that e-mail and it killed his hard drive.
If you get this e-mail, you are warned not to open it and to delete it immediately.
