[AZ-Observing] Re: [Fwd: Virus Alert from CNN]]

["Jimmy Ray" <jimmy_ray@xxxxxxx>]

Sorry guy's there are a lot of these. They are Hoaxes. Our computer dept.
see these most every week. As Thomas has already discovered there will be no
info from CNN, Microsoft, etc. pertaining to this "threat". Microsoft
doesn't send out virus notices and for the most part the more urgent
sounding, the BIGGER the font, the more important sounding the individual,
the less credible they are...

Better safe than sorry,

Jimmy

I would like to see the links that tell about this virus.  I have searched
CNN, McAfee, Microsoft and Symantec web sites for notices about this virus
and found none.  Did you here about it on TV?  I use Symantec and they don't
have a update to protect against it.

Read and update your virus protection. Sorry for posting this to my mail
list, however this is important as the damage will destroy your
computer's hard drive.
