Folks -
A 'virus hoax' has been passed to members of this group. This hoax pro ports a bogus virus, has you performs a few tasks, and then notify everyone in your address book. In this way, even though causing no real harm to your computer, the hoax is passed along to others.
For more information about this hoax, see:

After getting suckered into spreading these 'benign' virus hoaxes in the past, I learned to check them out Symantec.com or some other virus information site before sending them on to others.
If you happened to be duped by this hoax, I'm sorry you got caught but thanks for being a concerned internet citizen!!!
Regards,
