Anybody out there notice that all the "Virus Warning" messages are all
worded the same way, the only difference is the name of the virus?

Doesn't that tell you something?

Take what you read on McAfee's (or Symantec's) web site with at least a grain
of salt.

Visit http://kumite.com/myths/ and read the sorry histories of both of these
companies.

My favourite response to the "Good Times", "Join The Crew", etc. email virus
warnings is "If email viruses exist, why don't the perpetrators make the
subject 'Virus Warning.... Please Read this'?"
