Quoting John Christenhusz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
> Hi everyone, I'm not sure if this is genuine but keep an eye out for it.
A lot of messages of this type are propagated which are complete hoaxes.
To save yourself from the caustic criticism of fellow posters you could spend
just a little time checking out these types of messages, if you receive them,
with NAI or Symantec's online virus libraries.
The text of this message is very similar to well known virus hoaxes so I would
have no hesitation in saying it is very likely a hoax (where are these
announcements that are supposed to have been made? they probably don't exist!)
