RE: [HIPAAtaskforce] -virus may have infected your system

[Elaine Casey]

It is a hoax.  I had the same thing to happen to me last week. There are websites that you can check the virus out before deleting a program.   I was provided this website: http://www.mcafee.com/anti-virus/default.asp   Thank you.   Elaine Casey, MA, BSN, RN, CCM, CDMS, LHRM Manager of Compliance and Risk Management Florida 1st Service Administrators, Inc. 863.293.0785 Ext 5384     -----Original Message----- From: Prashant Shah [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 17, 2001 8:21 AM To: WEDI SNIP Security Workgroup List Subject: Fw: [HIPAAtaskforce] -virus may have infected your system Importance: High Hi,   I received an e-mail from one of the persons I know.
