Sorry for this and thanks for the heads up, I have benn getting warnings about this one for about 4 years. I worry about any of these "virus warnings", what better way would there be to spread a virus?? Tell someone that there is a new one out, and attach the virus to the warning - they send it to all their contacts - then those people send it to all their contacts, and before you know, it is all over the world
