I appreciate your motives Steve, but some time ago I decreed that the forum was not to be used for virus alerts, or discussions. Viruses and the associated hoaxes are so prolific in the PC world that we could easily dedicate enormous bandwidth to it.

This alert that you have posted is a HOAX Steve, please do yourself and everyone else a favour, and research your information before you squander bandwidth and waste everyone's time. Go to Symantec's Antivirus Site http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/ where you can research any suspected virus before you "holler". As with all email traffic, the user should take all precautions to avoid viruses, but the only virus messages that should be posted on the forum are warnings about viruses ON the forum itself, which is very rare. If you have questions about viruses, perhaps an email to John Sabato (our resident virus guru) could help.

Thank you for your understanding and co-operation.
