with all these hoax messages and virus warnings I find it useful to check with the CIAC Web site at: http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac to see if people who are 'in the business' know anything about it before I send any warnings on to everybody I know. There are various links on this page to Hoaxes, Viruses etc. U.S. Department of Energy's Computer Incident Advisory Capability - CIAC ... was established in 1989, it provides computer security services to employees and contractors of the United States Department of Energy. It includes links to the CIAC Virus Database and information about Internet Hoaxes and Internet Chain Letters. Cheers Simon * Simon A Rae * ACS-CAST, The Open University, Walton Hall, MILTON KEYNES.
