Re: Fw: : COMPUTER VIRUSES be warned
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE investigate these things before sending out email.
This is
a hoax, and, if you think about it, a virus unto itself.. you have been
infected, and you are spreading it..
http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/invitation.asp
a good rule of thumb, if it says 'send this to everyone you know', it's
likely
to be a hoax...
peace
