Helpful suggestion. There are many virus hoax messages circulating all the time. When you get a message like the Family Picture one, take a moment a check one of these sites before passing along the message: www.virus.btn.com/Hoax/hoaxlist.html www.stiller.com/hoaxes.htm I like the Stiller site best because they have an alphabetical list of virus hoax messages. You may want to read what they have to say about the Family Pictures virus hoax. When we pass along the hoax, we play into the hands of the prankster.
