Hi all,
This is a virus hoax. The clues were two, at least.
1. there was no link to Microsoft or McAfee directing you to obtain more
information.
2. official virus alerts never use ALL CAPS, nor do they direct the
recipient to send to everyone.
don't feel bad though. My fiance is in the Navy, at Pearl, and they
succumbed to this one too! for more information about virus hoaxes, see:
