From what I've been told - the virus is actually the e-mail just sent with READ THIS NOW . Notice it has an attachment - do not open the attachment whatever you do - that is where the virus would be - the method of spreading the virus is to say "forward this warning"- which isn't a warning but actually the virus! - most people forward the warning where in turn they are actually spreading the virus......so don't forward the original e-mail to anyone else - just delete it!

Original Text From: LukeOwens7 <LukeOwens7@aol.com>, on 3/17/98 1:33 PM: your computer cannot be infected with a virus simply by accessing and reading messages in Internet newsgroups. You must actually download an infected file to your hard disk from an Internet site, unencode or decompress that file (if such is necessary), and then execute the file in order for an infection to occur. found on AOL virus center ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
