It's
OK Sabrina. Don't let these "old-timers" scare you. You are not the
first newbie to try and help out by posting a hoax that they thought was a real
virus. Especially since there is a really nasty one running around.
Be
sure to respond to whomever sent this to you and let them know to check out
viruses on sites such as Symantec, NAI and such before they send them to
you. Believe me, if a virus is running, this list will know about long
before any User will and if you stay on this list every day, so will
you.
