FROM JANE READ IMMEDIATELY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FROM JANE This is a serious e-mail. I received a e-mail from an old friend this morning, of a virus that was passed on to him. His PC was infected and since I was in his address book it had probably been spread to my computer, WHICH IT WAS! I can't swear to the seriousness of the possible damage of the file, but it was on my C drive when I checked it this morning. Although it is constantly updated my Norton 2001 did not detect it at all. I FOUND THIS VIRUS ON MY COMPUTER THIS MORNING, SO PLEASE CHECK YOURS TO MAKE SURE IF YOU HAVE IT OR NOT AND IF YOU DO HAVE IT, FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS TO ERADICATE IT! YOUR VIRUS SCAN WILL NOT DETECT IT! > The following message was received a few moments ago from a cousin. I found a copy of the file > on my C and D drive.
