Everyone,

Walter and I searched for this using "Search Virus Encyclopedia" on norton
web site "www.norton.com" the other day and found that IT'S A HOAX. Please
go to the link below for more details. I would suggest us all in the
future to search and verify whether it's the real virus before you do
anything to your computer.

At least I found the application, but I didn't open it to see if it was actually the virus.  So, just in case, why not follow the instructions below.  Sorry all.  I guess it's time that I clean out some of my addressess from the Outlook Express book.
