Am sending some URLs where you can go to check out these 'myths,' or HOAXES, such as the 'Jesus,' one. First let me state, that opening an e-mail can NOT do anything to your computer. DOWNLOADING something could possibly do so. That is why you NEVER download anything from anyone that you don't know. And you should never send anything on that you have not PERSONALLY checked even if it comes from your mother or your pastor! <grin> There are some people out there who have too much time on their hands and they really need to get a life!!! Maybe they should take up genealogy. I never have enough time! :-) Let's not encourage them to perpetuate frauds and take away the precious time that we have by worrying needlessly. Here are some places that you can check on hoaxes. http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/CIACHoaxes.html http://www.nonprofit.net/hoax/hoax.html http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/download.html You can download some virus protection from this site. Hope this is helpful. Nancy S ==== SW_VA Mailing List ==== #9 As of 2/27/1999 we have 485 members. Traffic can get heavy so check your mailbox often.
