There are many places to check out information about viruses and hoaxes. One such is at: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/hoax.html My suggestion would be that if you have an impulse to put a virus notice on the board -- DON'T! However, if you must, at least check it out first. It is probably a hoax that is meant to generate thousands of useless messages. Several of the boards absolutely prohibit such messages and maybe this one should consider such a restriction. John
