That's what they say, but in reality I've never ever seen or heard of
anything found in the wild with other than the English version I quoted,
or the Spanish version above, and let me tell you I've personally seen
thousands and thousands upon thousands of copies of this virus in the
wild! ;-)
Perhaps the code that's supposed to choose the random text is broken?
If someone can show me/us a copy of an in-the-wild message (without the
base64 part, thanks very much! ;-), I'd very much appreciate it.
