Please, before posting this kind of warning to the list, please, please,
please visit one of the Anti Virus software company's websites to verify
the authenticity of it. <Hint> when you see stuff like Worst Ever Virus,
Microsoft Says, permanently destroying the hard disk, and CNN all
mentioned in the same mail, just bin the mail, it is usually a hoax.
Best Practice of course, is to check each one out and verify it <end
