This, like all such breathless warnings, is a hoax. Believing some of them result in deleting necessary files or otherwise damaging your system. In case of doubt, virus information (and hoaxes) can be checked at various anti-virus protection libraries such as http://www.mcafee.com/anti-virus/default.asp ----- Original Message ----- From: Laura Allen To: SCT-CAITHNESS-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2003 5:29 PM Subject: a virus Sorry guys, this came from one of my Scottish lists and I actually found the bear icon when I did a search.
