Hi,
before freaking out about this supposed current virus threat, it would be
informative to read the information about it at Snopes.com, which
investigates, explains and evaluates such warnings. This one originated in
the fall of 2006, and much about it is interesting to read. here's the URL
of the Snopes page about this virus warning. if the link takes up two lines
in your eamail, as it does in mine, first note where the line break is, then
copy and paste the entire URL into your browser's address bar, but then look
for the place where the line break was and make sure there's no space there
to break up the URL, by deleting a space if you find one.
