IMPORTANT!
You need to check every E-mail out that announces a virus BEFORE you do anything (i.e., don't send it to anyone, don't do ANYTHING to your computer until you've checked it out).
Before passing on any dire e-mail warning, check it's validity at:
http://www.snopes.com/
To verify a virus check at:
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/hoax.html OR
http://vil.mcafee.com/hoax.asp

how to report viruses, and how to remove viruses from your computer.
