RE: Virus Alert

["James M. De Arras" <jmd@westlab.com>]

Any "virus" warning that includes the command "Send to everyone in your
address book" is generally a hoax.  Also, Microsoft does not issue virus
warnings.  "Just went into circulation yesterday", and "This information was
announced yesterday morning from Microsoft" complete the obvious
fabrication.

Hi all 
 I received this just now from my brother in law, I pass it on as a public
service kind of a thing.
