This is a hoax.

Before you send out a virus alert, please check it on one of the many virus hoax sites. Here is one:

in Seattle

At the risk of veering severely off topic in this group I would like

to follow up on this post.

As computer users and members of the World Wide Web community we are

all reponsible for securing our computers and data contained on our

computers. Keeping your computer virus free is not a hard thing to

do. There are several ways to this which require about 15 minutes a

week of work.

1. Never ever connect to the internet unless you are running an

anti-virus application. I reccommned McAfee or Nortons. McAfee will

allow you to scan your computer via the web free for 30 days then you

have to pay if you want to keep it. However this does not offer

full-time protection.
