By now you know I never respond to the virus threads..HOWEVER,
this one is a hoax..according to the Norton's site. If you follow the
instructions, you basically crash your own system!!!
The file mentioned is a key WIN95/98/2000 systems file. The give-
a-way is the fact you're suppose to delete the recycling bin. Of
course..that way when you computer fails to operate, you can't
recover the deleted file.
Now..this does NOT open a thread about Mac's vs Windows..
Soooo go out and work some DX.. Listen intently for
Kilo Foxtrot 2 Tango India...
thanks for your time. now back to the world..already in progress
