That's pretty skummy! Rich ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adam Myrow" To: Sent: 13 May, 2002 7:02 PM Subject: Re: Hoax virus was Re: more worms I got a warning about that hoax at work. That's really dirty! With all these real viruses doing real damage, somebody takes advantage of people's ignorance and has them deleting part of their system. With all these viruses going around, I sometimes wonder if the antivirus software vendors perhaps write viruses in their spare time so they can sell more software? Maybe I'm being paranoid, but there are just too many viruses out there to be believed! Between that and spam, I'm just about to lose my mind!
