Donna and all:
There is a website www.snopes.com where one can look for information on
various "virus warnings", free "$50 gift certificates from Applebees" or
whatever. These are generally "urban legend" type hoaxes. Anytime I
receive a "warning", or a "something too good to be true", I check it on
snopes.
