Microsoft do not issue virus warnings. The moment that you see their name in a "virus warning" e-mail, you know it's a hoax. Norton and MacAfee only issue virus warnings to their customers who have signed up to receive them. The moment you see their names in an unsolicited e-mail, you know it's a hoax. The moment that you see the words "send this to everyone in your address book" or "pass this to all your friends", you know it's a hoax. The moment that you check www.snopes.com and find the very same e-mail recorded there, you know it's a hoax. Just because these people fool your friends doesn't mean that they have to fool you too. Not now that you know. -- Molly Mockford Please note that the address [EMAIL PROTECTED] is NOW NO LONGER accepting e-mail except from mailing lists.
