Hi,

        Before anyone gets frantic and starts sending this message
to everyone. You can not get a virus by simply reading an e-mail.
You would have to download it to the hard-drive and then execute
the file.

        Trojan horse viruses have been around for a long time, and
are quite easy to fix. This virus is a hoax, much like the 'Good
Times' virus. The only thing viral about it is that people keep
sending it out to everyone!

        Thanks for your concern though, we know you meant well!
