Pluperfect is not a virus; it is a hoax or an e-mail message that tricks users into thinking that a new virus called Strunkenwhite is spreading, which doesn’t actually exist.

It attempts to trick users into believing that the source of the information is a famous American journalist called Bob Hirschfeld.

Pluperfect tries to alarm the user by saying that the alleged virus (Strunkenwhite) will return e-mail messages with grammar or spelling mistakes.  In addition, it also says that the effects of this supposed virus are even higher than Chernobyl’s, a real destructive virus.

In order to avoid problems, disregard this information, as it is completely false. You should also immediately delete the message, without forwarding it to anyone.

Pluperfect arrives in an apparently normal e-mail message, but which can be identified by its message. The message text always refers to a virus called Strunkenwhite, which is supposed to return e-mail messages containing grammar and spelling mistakes.

This message can also be easily recognized, because it refers to a famous American journalist by the name of Bob Hirschfeld.
