:-/ How come the Nigerians missed ME?. Just unlucky, I guess.

If you visit http://www.about.com/ you can track down lots of virus information, and virus hoaxes. They don't always discriminate well between humor and hoaxes. The one that suggests the virus will curdle the milk in your fridge, for example, is one I forwarded to friends for a chuckle, but About lists it as a hoax. I don't forward virus warnings unless they come from the IT folks at the university where I work, and then only to people who are also in academic settings so they can alert their IT folks. Look at the one that people followed a few months back--as was discussed on Mudcat in at least one thread--where they went in and cut out perfectly good programs in their Operating System (a program that helped manage long file names--one that I certainly can't live without!).
