Subject: [CALDWELL-L] Virus Removal Instruction Cleaned up!
Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2001 13:53:54 -0500


Hi again and sorry for the last e-mail that I neglected to clean up. This should help. Please read, it says it can wipe out your hard drive!!! I had it and it was easy to remove with the following instructions. I am not forwarding any e-mail and I ask that forwards not be sent because it attaches to them. If you don't know how to select all, copy and paste into a new message then e-mail me for instructions, I will try to help but I have OE and that is what I am used to working with.
