Hello friends
It appears that a virus may have slipped past my Norton anti virus, and I
may have infected your computer - it travels to everyone in your address
book. I was instructed to remove it by the person who sent it to me. I
followed instructions given below. I can't verify this as a real threat or
as a hoax so I assume it is something to take care of. I may be totally
wrong, please let me know. I am very, very sorry to have done this. Simi
