This is a hoax. Please do not forward this message and let anyone else
you've fowarded this to know to not pass it on.
For more information about this, you can checkout the web site for any of
the major anti-virus programs. Some web sites are:
McAfee (http://www.mcafee.com)
Dr. Solomon's (http://www.drsolomons.com)
Norton (http://www.norton.com)
IBM (http://www.av.ibm.com)
If someone sends you a virus warning, please check it out at one of these
web sites. Even if the message claims that one of these companies has made
this announcement, you should personally check that it is true before you
pass it on.
Be a good net citizen, do your part to stamp out unwarrented virus scares.
Y.I.S.
