Subject: Re: VIRUS!!!!!
This hoax has gone around so many times it has mold. I have read
numerous news releases from the computer gurus at my educational
institution place of work that there is no virus that can attack you from
e-mail. The only way that a virus can work is through an executable file
(like a program). It is conceivable that a program could be sent as an
attachment to a message, but you would still have to execute the file to
activate the virus. I know that computer viruses sound scary, but you
are most at risk if you share executable files with someone (like
shareware) or if you download programs.
Sorry for the lecture
