Hello,We have not had any reports of such a virus and it is unlikely to be true. In the past viruses have been written to try to steal information from computers for attempts of identity theft, however there is no benefit for a virus to wipe all the information off a computer - this sounds much more like a scare tactic to lead you into trying to find out more about the virus (ie, click the link in the email).The snopes.com website the link appears to direct you towards I personally wouldn't trust (pop-ups and ads left, right, and center). The report of the 'virus' could be a trick to take you to the site to generate profits from the ads or to have other viruses installed on your computer.I recommend making sure you have an up to date anti-virus program that is well known (or recommended by a friend - we recommend AVG for an anti-virus program), and to not click on links or attachments in emails from people you don't know.Please reply to this email or call us on 1300 364 074 to speak with any of our staff if you have further queries.Regards,TimTechnical SupportLizzy Internethttp://www.lizzy.com.au/ any indication this is verifiable?Joy4038 2770endiandra@...Begin forwarded message:Date: 8 May 2011 8:24:15 AMTo: undisclosed recipients: ;Subject: VIRUSReply-To: bronchiectasis VIRUS WARNING!!
