    3. Hello everyone. Did everyone else receive anything about this 'Virus' that is supposed to be going around? I have received the message several times. I looked it up on the internet, and I think that everyone that received this message should alos look it up on the internet, before deleting anything!!!! Below this message, is the link that I checked out. Like I said, I think that everyone needs to read up on this supposed virus, before deleting anything.
