    3. I hesitate to use up any more bandwidth on this issue, but this is a commonly known HOAX, not a real virus. Check this website: http://www.vmyths.com/hoax.cfm?id=44&page=3 I suggest that people find out whether a virus is real or not before sending out a blanket "warning." By bliindly relaying this type of info, we're doing just what the hoaxers want. Please don't send out virus warnings unless you're sure about them.
