Thank you Paul . Another good URL to check "virus" warnings (and most
warnings are HOAXES) is :
http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/CIACHoaxes.html
This site will let you know about the the hoaxes out there, how to identify
a new hoax, and how to tell if a warning is REAL, please EVERYONE check out
a warning at a reliable credible source BEFORE spamming a hoax to a mailing
list or your friends. All the hoaxes do is cause panic in the uninformed,
waste bandwidth, and irritate the informed.

BTW - Anything that says "pass this on to everyone you know" is probably
spam, a chain letter, or a hoax. Nothing VALID and REAL says that.
