This is a hoax and an old one renewed. <A HREF="http://www.kumite.com/myths/">Computer Virus Myths home page</A> There is also a rumor going around that the Post Office had to shut down or their main computers crashed. This is TRUE, it was cause by a virus hoax sent to a few computers and everyone that recieved it hit the send to all button and overloaded the computers and it crashed. It took a couple of hours to get them back up and running. The virus did NOT shut them down, the panic of a hoax and lack of information did.
