This is NOT a hoax. I received my "Virus Update" this today. This is it's description: ANTI-VIRUS UPDATE ALERT ----------------------------------- VIRUS: "Stages.worm" British and U.S. firms were infected with a computer virus this weekend that arrives via e-mail and convincingly masquerades as an innocent plain text file. The bug, called "Stages.worm," does not damage computer files but can shut down corporate e-mail servers. I don't know if you have to be subscribed to reach this site or not, but here is my site for this virus update: "Stages.worm" Virus Files/Patches/Updates can be found here: http://updates.zdnet.com/virusalerts/avalert.htm Even though you may not be on a corporate server, I'm sure many of us send e-mail to places of employment. We could innocently send the virus to someone we know. I think it is something to check into.
