Thanks, Alison. Could I suggest that people look up virus warnings on the net before passing them on to the list? There are a number of sites where you can check if a warning is a hoax. This is one of them: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/hoax.html You can also check e-petitions and other round-robin communications in various places. I like the Urban Legends Reference Pages at http://www.snopes2.com/ . Look under _Currently Circulating_.
