    3. I have Norton and I just do not have to worry about viruses. Twice it has warned me, and I paid attention! My son is pretty savvy and he trusts it implicity. I always head right to the hoaxes site but you beat me, Cece. Thanks! Pat Las Vegas Cece wrote: > This is a hoax. DON'T delete this file as it is an intregal part of > your > system.
