I received it from one of my genealogy boards and checked my hard drive and sure enough, there was a file there like this. Although it was dated 1998, I deleted it, just to be sure, and am sending this on to everyone just in case since tomorrow is June 1. > > > Hello, this file was in our harddrive please take this message seriously and look for this before June 1. I don't know if this is a true virus or not, but forewarned is forearmed. The file did look very suspicious. The fellow that sent this to us is a toy representative and a very reliable source. If anyone knows anymore information about this please let use know. > > > > Kathy > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: Barry S.
