Sorry Graham (and all)


This warning is one of countless hoaxes doing the rounds. I'm not sure
which website it is (probably Dr Solomans or similar) lists the
thousands of  hoaxes ... and this is confirmed by then as being one of
them. A similar warning was posted on another newsgroup I belong to
and many respondents came back to confirm that it is a hoax.

This was forwarded to me on the canrd group, the source is a respected one 
so for what it's worth I pass it on.

This is an important alert related to a virus that has
been verified by both the IBM and AOL.
