Hi all, this is not true. Don't trust that it has been checked and is true even though it says "Snopes Verified" unless you yourself have gone on snopes.com to check it yourself. I have been up there and this is not a real virus, it has been around in a number of forms since 2000 and there is no such virus that can destroy your total hard drive.
For those that are only using Braillenotes no virus can effect the braillenotes because nobody but humanware can make software for the Braillenotes. Yes other people have written some things to work with braillenotes but as far as I understand these all work on the internet program so they are just like using a webpage to do things.
